there is only one M.2 slot on 7070 tower motherboard but the slot can accommodate either 2280 or 2230 M.2 ssd.

the other M.2 slot on board is for Wi-Fi card only with a different key and is incompatible with ssd

@redxps630
Where is the second slot, physically located in the picture?
I was able to find the main m.2 slot, and in the manual it indicates how to screw it in so it stays in place.
I see m.2_wlan but there is no connector there.
And what are the two connectors just to the left of the cpu, the white one turned at an angle and then the black one?
In the description of the second slot, the comma is what threw me off, the 'support for intel cnvi or usb2/pci3' apparently refers only to the wifi component.

the M.2 slot for WLAN is next to the white 6 pin socket at right lower corner of board in pic.
to the left of CPU, there is small black video socket for connecting optional video port (better seen in third pic).
the small 45 degree white socket to the left of cpu is for USB type C connector of optional module
