There are two M.2 slots on 5000 MFF model but ... second slot is for WLAN (WiFi or LTE/GSM module), not for NVMe drive, therefore only one M.2 for is designed for storage.It has a placeholder for third NVMe (storage) connector but it's not soldered on this model unfortunately.This model also has single SATA connector (not two) which is slower than NVMe storage but is an option nonetheless.You can check service manual on "page 49" for more details about on-board connectors or "page 14" of intstall&specification document on supported storage options (quoted below):---● One M.2 2230 slot for WiFi and Bluetooth card● One M.2 2230/2280 slot for SSD● One SATA slot for 2.5-inch HDD---
Hi All, I have a new Optiplex 5000 Micro Form Factor with a M.2 2280 512GB PCIe NVMe Class 40 SolidState Drive. I haven't opened the casing yet, but I think from reading that there should (?) be a second M.2 PCIe slot to add a second identical drive. Can anyone confirm is that is true, and whether or not it is simply a case of opening, removing the holding screw for the first SSD, plugging in the new one and screwing them both down? I.e., I want to have 2 drives for a total of 1TB storage. Any problems with this approach? I'd like to purchase this: [URL]#compatibility_section I used to put PCs together almost 20yrs ago, so it's been a while and PCIe wasn't really a thing back then. Many thanks in advance!
