17r4 Upgrade

I'm looking to upgrade my 17r4's M.2 SSD, and I'm not sure whats the best option for me... I haven't taken the back off of my computer yet, just want to see what other people are doing with their rig to see what would help me the most.  I love the 17r4, but I'm one of those guys that just upgrade and upgrade.  what have yous done with yours? I have a 128g M.2 ssd stock and a SATA 3 1tb hd, 16gb DDR4 RAM.  I guess there is an extra slot for another M.2 SSD and another little one next to it? I don't know what those are for, I'm not all that experienced yet as far as gaming laptops go.  Let me know!

    What is the speed at which the m.2 ssd can run and how many lanes does each slot use?

    The two full-size M.2 PCIe/SATA drives runs at 4x and the one half-size M.2 PCIe/SATA drive runs at 2x.
