Aurora R12, Storage Capacity Specification

G'day,  I've got a couple of questions if you have a moment.   

Looking a the March 17, 2021 document "Alienware R12 Setup and Specifications" on page 17 in the Storage section one finds Table 10: Storage specifications.  Alienware Aurora R12 Setup and Specifications (dell.com)

1) For all three configurations in the table, the last column titled 'Capacity' shows the phrase "Up to 2 TB".  Is this a true restriction or can one add an aftermarket HDD with much greater capacity such as the 5 TB Seagate BaraCuda ,2.5",  (ST5000LM000)?  Or a similar larger capacity 3.5" SSD? 

2) If the R12 is ordered with the storage option "1TB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD (Boot) + 2TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s (storage)"  does the 2TB SATA drive take the physical form of 2.5" or 3.5"?

Thanks for your insight.
