m15 R1, regarding adding SSD

Can I put two M.2 SSD? I already have a 512GB SSD. Can I add the Samsung 1TB 970 Pro if there is another slot?

    If you're looking for a fast SSD, that'd be the WD Black line if you want Western Digital.  Samsung makes an extensive line of fast SSDs as well.  The Green WD line are slower drives.

    It depends on the Samsung model.  As with WD, performance tracks with price, so you can't just compare the brands.  There are multiple levels of performance, which increases with price.

    Yeah sure,

    Just make sure to check if you have an additional 2 m.2 slots that can expand in NVMe storage.

    Quick Tip: If your laptop has voltage / charging issues, try shutting it down, unplugging power from laptop, hold power button down for 30 seconds to do a full reset!

    You dont really need a heatsink tbh, thats only if you're using the SSD 100% all the time.
