Installing two NVMe drives in Dell Precision 3440
I have two NVMe slots in my Dell 3440 PC. One has the factory-installed Western Digital NVMe SSD. Can I add a second one in the empty slot? It seems like that should be possible, but the documentation makes no mention of the second slot. If it is possible, will both drives run at full speed? If not, what the heck is the second slot for?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can add a second NVMe SSD in the empty slot of your Dell Precision 3440. The second slot is designed to support NVMe SSDs and should work at full speed, just like the first one.
To confirm that the second slot is compatible with NVMe SSDs, you can check the specifications of your Dell Precision 3440 or contact Dell support for more information.
When installing the second NVMe SSD, make sure to properly secure it in the slot and connect it to the motherboard. You may need to adjust the BIOS settings to recognize the second drive, but this should be a straightforward process.
Keep in mind that adding a second NVMe SSD may also affect the thermals and overall performance of your system, so it's important to monitor temperatures and ensure proper cooling.
