Acceptable R5 SSD

Question

I am waiting for my R5 to be delivered today after almost 3 weeks and need to know what kind of SSD are accepted in this model. If I received it when I was originally quoted, I'd be able to try to the trial and error approach. Can anyone help me out on this? Looking for a 120 or 240 gb that are reasonably priced.

Also, would running dual graphics cause a problem or is there an option other than PCI for this computer?

Appreciate any help. Thanks!

Hi,

There are 3 different PCI ports, so there will be no problem. There is one SSD PCI port located in the motherboard near the RAM and then two PCIe ports for the video cards.

Is there no support for HD larger than 1TB?

For M2 just 1TB, for a mechanical HDD more than 4TB.

Could you send me a picture of the motherboard schematic so I can find the location for the sata. Which one would it be best to plug an internal Ssd in? Or does it even matter?
