Aurora-R7, 128GB SSD M.2, PCIe adapter?

Question

I recently purchased a R7 with a 128gb NVME m.2 SSD and a 2TB HD. I need to upgrade the SSD for more space for all of my apps and data. I'm wanting to get a Samsung 970 EVO 500GB NVMe PCIe to replace the 128gb m.2 drive since I do a lot of photo and video editing. I see that the motherboard only has one m.2 slot, so the 970 EVO would be my new primary drive with Windows. Can I get a PCIe or some other type of adapter and still use the 128gb SSD? I'm trying to figure out if I can use this drive at all or will need to eBay it.

Hello CBWALKE,

You will be able to use that drive in one of the 2.5 inch bays by using this adapter.

Along with the adapter, you will also need a hard drive carrier (part# TT9J1). Reach out to the out of warranty team with the contact details here to order the parts.
