Aurora R16, second SSD slot specs?
I just ordered an Alienware Aurora 16 and wanted to order an additional SSD for it. My understanding is that there's a second SSD slot available, but it's not clear if that slot is for a M.2 2280 or a M.2 2230. Can anyone clarify? In the specs it just says, "1 tb, m.2, pcie nvme, ssd", and in the manual it says it's either a 2280 or 2230... not very helpful.

Slot 6,7 in the service manual
It does not say anything about the stand-off screw for it, so hopefully they included that free of charge.

@Vanadiel Thanks for the response. I'm probably just dense, but does that imply that the SSD-2 slot takes the 2230 or 2280 size, or does it not matter?

@StillChimp Both slots look same length to me, so 2280 will work. I don't see any other stand-off holes for smaller sizes.
