ROG G751JT Drive Space

I just got the subject machine and I'd like to put 2 SDD into it... I'm not sure what type of drives I can put in it but I've heard M.2, PCIE, SATA 3 and SATA 6 ports... I've donloaded the user manual and it doesn't say what additional drive spaces it has but it appears there are 3 connectors (PCIE, SATA 3 and SATA 6)... Not sure what M.2 means... Can someone help me figure this out so I order the right drives? Looking for 2 SSDs that are best bang for the buck...

It was reported as follows from another owner of this laptop who said this about drive space:

"The laptop has two drive bays, two SATA connectors and one PCIE SATA connector - you can use all 3 if you buy a PCIE SATA SSD and a short regular SSD for the first bay (decased), then a third drive in the second bay. IIRC, only the first bay is a SATA6 connector the second bay is a SATA3."

Can anyone help?

Thanks for that second link... I believe that might be what I have... Apparently, this Laptop was sold in many different flavors.

Click to expand...

I had the G751JY before it's almost similar, it has one SATA II bay (the right one) and the left one is SATA III

I returned the laptop for a refund because when I connect an external HDD to any of the left USB ports and start copying 50+ GB of data, the whole laptop freezes
