Hey there! I have a dell g3 3590 with the i7 9750h, 1660ti, 16 gb of ram, and 512gb nvme ssd. having 500 gb of storage has decent but its never really been enough to have multiple big games installed, im looking at getting back into ark which is around 200gb with all of the maps installed and I cant install the game- not enough space. Im wondering if there is another slot i can put another ssd in or if i just need to swap this ssd with a larger one. if I need to swap the ssd, is there any way i can transfer files from one to the other? does the OS stay on the laptop or do i need to buy another OS? my current ssd is a KBG40ZNS512G NVMe TOSHIBA 512gb if that helps. Thanks for the help guys!

Looking at the specs, you should have a 2.5" bay that you can put a SATA SSD in.

Thanks for the quick reply, will this one work? or do you have any you recommend? only looking to add 500gb, oh and is it easy to add another drive? any other like software stuff i have to do once i plug it in?
