Does this spec look ok?

[AlanWooding829]

I'm pretty well ok with it but I'm a bit confused about the hard drives, since I got a message when saving the quote about where to install the operating system - on SSD or on mechanical hard drive (not recommended). As far as I can see I ordered two SSDs, and no mechanical hard drive. Now I'm not sure which SSD it will be stored on, the 500GB one (1st Storage drive) or the 1TB one (1st M2 SSD drive)? Can you help please?

It should offer to install on the M2 drive or the SSD. The M2 obviously being the preference given its speeds.

Can you check again on a different browser? I can see it offering:

"We note that you have selected an M.2/PCI-E SSD drive and a solid state drive (SSD) under the primary hard disk drive option. Please confirm whether you would like your operating system (OS) to be installed on the M.2/PCI-E SSD or on the solid state drive (SSD): "

Thanks, I understand now. I've now swapped the sizes of the drives, so the 1st Storage drive is the larger one. You were right about the browser. The correct message came up on Edge. This is the message I got on Firefox yesterday.
" We note that you have selected an M.2/PCI-E SSD drive and a mechanical hard drive under the primary hard disk drive option. Please confirm whether you would like your operating system (OS) to be installed on the SSD drive or on the mechanical hard drive:"
But I had not chosen a mechanical hard drive. Today Firefox gives the right message. Maybe it was me yesterday, but I checked and tried several times.
Thank you very much for your help.

No worries - sounded like something buggy picking up an HDD.

Yep for the ~ same cost you could probably get the 500gb M2 and a 2TB SSD - add a lot more space whilst having enough for your OS and core applications

I'm doing exactly that - 500gb M2 and a 2TB SSD - it is a bit more cost possibly because it's SAMSUNG but it should be worth it.
