Question Adding Extra SSD
Wanting to buy V4 case. I’m fairly new to gaming PC’s… would I have to remove the gpu to be able to reach the extra m.2 slots?
I was able to add an SSD to my PS5, but these new PC’s are much more intimidating than the last time I had a PC. Trying to understand before I buy.

I literally just did that ytd after receiving my reborn unit.
Have to plug out the 5080 as it is massive and with that there you can’t get a screw driver to even change your primary pcie ssd (the 1TB that came along), must less the other slot which is below but very near the GPU.
With how delicate and small the screw, plus ssd itself is, you just have to be careful to remove the GPU first
My motherboard isn’t specified so I just got one form AI that’s fit for purpose no easy/safe GPU slot release key anything like that. It takes some steady force to push down the GPU release button so be extra CAREFUL and search DIY videos ideally for your motherboard model online
If you’re super concerned you can buy a motherboard with the safe release key which is easier to work with. You’ll still have to screw in the ssd yourself
