I've seen that higher spec of Acer Nitro 5(i7, GTX 1050ti) do have the secondary slot for hard drive since it said that its come with 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD.

I wonder if lower spec(i5, GTX 1050) also have this feature. Would somebody can make this clear?

the 2.5inch slot will already be occupied by the 1tb hdd.if u want to get an ssd there will be an empty m.2 slot for a m.2 ssd.no matter which option u took the storage slot will be the same.
there is 2 drive slot one 2.5inch drive slot and an m.2 ssd slot.if u bought a version with an ssd the u can easily put in another 2.5inch hdd as an extra storage vice versa.
 

So, the one without SSD version just only have one slot of hard drive?
