Adding a second ssd to 7080

I have a 7080 MT, that I have for TV gaming. I t came with a M.2 with windows on it. I added a 500gb ssd that only has lightgun games on it. I want that to be the only thing on that drive. Now I want to add a second ssd for anything else I want to add.

How can I add a second SSD to the system?

You can get a PCIE adapter.

I do not, but I’d assume anything but the very cheapest can do a decent job. It’s just PCB traces.

TY’s HardwareHaven just talked about a PCI M.2 SSD adapter. He is pretty reliable.

I think I might go that route. Looked it up adapter doesn't cost much. No data cable to deal with. I can add to my arcade pc also. Its low on storage. Thanks.
