Maximum 128 GB is supported, but configured transfer rate and active channel count remain unknown.","storage_slots":"Exact SKU has two NVMe PCIe Gen4 connectors and one installed 2 TB Gen4 SSD. One connector is occupied and one free. Original manual supplies the common M.2 2280 form factor. PCIe Gen4 here is physical slot capability, separately from installed storage_pcie_gen.","ports":"Exact quantities and protocols corroborate the original manual.
