Stock currently includes a Legion 5 15IMH05H with a single 512gb M.2 setup. I’m considering using either two 2TB drives or opting for a dual configuration, but I need to know the maximum size each slot can hold. Additionally, I want the quickest available M.2 option, even though they’re already fast. Can I also include a SATA SSD with the M.2 drives for extra space?

This information from Lenovo suggests compatibility with a 2.5" SATA drive and an M.2 NVMe device.

I reviewed that part and believe the concern came from the phrasing about "up to 1TB" versus the possibility of larger storage in the future. Capacity shouldn't be a problem.

It's probable that at the time it was recorded, a 1TB was near the maximum available space.
Looking ahead, bigger sizes shouldn't pose a problem.
