Buying an additional drive

[marktjeffrey]

I have the Medion Erazer MD34683 desktop but I rapidly filled the SSD. I'd like to add a second bigger SSD or HDD to it. What sort of drive should I be looking for?

Thanks,

Mark.

I thought the first slot would have 2 nocks and the 2nd one 1 nock. On my pc these slots are identical, and that is the reason why I am in doubt whether my MB was built according to the specification

It doesn't  matter . The key in the ports are just a couple of missing contacts, which doesn't bother the M.2 SSDs as long as they have corresponding notches. Most SATA  SSDs have two keys in there edge-connector, B + M, so the producer is free to put the SATA protocol onto the  socket  B or  M, where he wants.

Only the PCIe edge connector ist mainly and mostly for a M key PCIe SSD Socket,  

because the M-key connection provides the higher data rate than a B-Key connection.

And no, you can not swap a SATA  into a PCIe socket. It's different by the hardware wiring, the firmware and the assigned protocol.
