Hello, currently this mosel has 256gb m2 ssd. There is slot for extra harddisk but it doesn't have parts ( bracket, cable, screws etc ). I want to know part numbers so maybe I can find them. This empty slot just for a hdd or can I add 2.5 inch ssd too ? 
One  more question, can I replace current 256gb m2 ssd with higher capatiy like 480 or 512 gb. Thanks.

    Yes, the m.2 slot should be fine with a higher capacity card. The HDD cable is part # 50.GZCN5.005 but it's a standard internal HDD SATA cable so any cable that's not too long or too short and fits inside the case should be fine. The HDD bracket is part # 60.GZCN5.001. I find it's easier to protect and immobilize the HDD inside the case with antistat foam rather than use a bracket. Jack E/NJ

    Hi Jack! I was wondering, is there a maximum capacity for the M.2 SSD slot? And do you know whether it supports NVMe?

    Specsheet says 512GB but will probably accept  more. Yes, it supports full speed nvmes. Jack E/NJ
