Question Help adding SSD to my Acer A315-54

[Bushlord86]

Hi,

I just got a new laptop, it's not great but it's what I could afford...

The model is Acer A315-54 NX.HEEEK.00B

The product description says it has two slots for SSDs?

"with two slots for up to 512GB PCIe SSD (SSD not included). Easily store and share your important projects and data with 1TB of hard drive space. "

It's been ages since I've upgraded any machine, I've taken the back off this thing and for the life of me can't spot where the second SSD would go? Here's a photo I took

I can see an empty RAM slot, I can see the existing SSD but where would the supposed second one slot in? There's a space that looks like a normal HDD would fit but no connector for one to plug into so I assume that's not an option?

This is the page for this Model of Acer https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B086CXH42M?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_title - I've tried Google but all the search results change the -54 to a different model I don't have.

Where would the second SSD go and does it look like a HDD isn't supported?

I found a previous thread on this for this model and found out what's needed, I now know the HDD connector is just above the battery, lower left of the board and I need some FCC ribben cable and have the Acer part number for it plus I need a HDD caddy/bracket - I'd like to put in a 7mm 1tb HDD which Inc the SSD would be 1.5tb however the product description says it supports a max of 1TB with x2 512GB drives. Is that really true? Or can I go above that? Could I add a 2tb drive?
