Adding second SSD without voiding warranty?

Hello! 

I have an Inspiron 7590 2in1 that I bought last August (i7-8565U, Nvidia MX250, 512GB NvME SSD) and I am wondering if it is possible to add a secondary SSD in the SATA slot (the service manual shows there is a 2.5" bay if I am reading things right) without voiding my warranty?

    You won't void the warranty - but be sure your system has the smaller 56 WHr battery.  If you have the larger 97 WHr battery, there's no space for a 2.5" drive (the system setup will tell you which you have; F2 at powerup).

    Mine has the 68Wh "enhanced" battery. The 97Wh I believe is for the non-2in1 version.

    I'd remove the base cover and visually check before buying.  Anything larger than the 3-cell 56 WHr battery will likely block enough space to preclude installing a 2.5" drive.
