Hi,
I bought the system below about 18 months ago and I love it. I mostly use it for Lightroom. Before it was built swapped the 1TB M.2 drive to a 500GB and added a 1TB one. So it has Windows and Lightroom on a 500GB M.2 drive and my photos on the 1Tb drive. I wonder how easy it would be to swap the 1Tb for a 2TB one? What I'm wondering about is how accessible the drives are, inside the case.
(I have sufficient external drives with which to transfer the data).
(since purchase I have added an AX200 bluetooth/WiFi card to one PCIe slot and a card that adds a fast USB-C socket to another PCIe slot).
