The new MSI GS65 storage question

[windirskyfire]

I am a PC guy and buying my first laptop next week. The https/www.msi.com/Laptop/GS65-Stealth-Thin-8RF/Specification . Only issue is it comes with very little storage and was looking to add some when it comes in the mail but still not totally confident in what i can use. I was hoping for a minimum of 500g and was looking at the https/www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073SB2MXT/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
This should work as my second drive right? IF not does anyone have any recommendations? Trying to keep it under $300 or so. Thanks a ton!

What is the main drive it comes with?

That drive is a m.2 SATA.
Only one m.2 slot can take a SATA based m.2 drive.

SSD
1x M.2 SSD slot (NVMe PCIe Gen3)
1x M.2 SSD Combo (NVMe PCIe Gen3 / SATA )

Did you figure out a good SSD to put in?
