One M.2 SSD slot, two M.2 SSD combo slot and one 2.5” SATA HDD.
One M.2 SSD combo slot and one 2.5” SATA HDD.
Only one 2.5” SATA HDD.

If your MSI laptop belongs to GS series, like GS65, GS75, you’re not allowed to unauthorized disassembly for hard drive. Otherwise, the warranty period is deemed to have expired. It’s better to go to MSI Service Center for MSI hard drive upgrade.
