Hi @QuentinCa,
Your computer supports one of the following configurations:

- One M.2 PCIe solid-state drive and one 2.5-inch hard drive
- One M.2 Intel Optane and one 2.5-inch hard drive
- Two M.2 PCIe solid-state drives
NOTE: The primary drive of your computer varies depending on the storage configuration.For computers:
- with a M.2 drive, the M.2 drive is the primary drive.
- without M.2 drive, the 2.5-inch drive is the primary drive.

From what I can see, and it does not appear to be an exact model offered by Dell site in North America, there are 2 M.2 NVME slots. So you could add an additional NVME M.2 SSD. The following model looks like a match.

Or maybe this one which has similar storage capabilities.
