The problem is thatth can't tell what type it is, and I haven't removed the case yet and I've not used this kind of drive.

Your 128GB device is PCI/e 3 x2 in the 2280 Pci/e 3x4 slot. This slot can also hold INTEL OPTANE MEMORY. Either/or, not both.

 

You have a empty HDD slot to add a spinner or 2.5 inch SATA SSD.
