Don’t most laptops also have at least 1 M.2 slot in addition to SATA bay? I know it’s supposed to be for Wifi but you can use a USB wifi dongle (you could even wire it up internally if you wanted to) while still having an NGFF SSD for Linux and having Windows on the SATA bay (or vice versa, whichever you prefer).
The person was pointing out that some laptops only have a single SATA bay or M.2 slot for SSD, I was pointing out that if it doesn’t have a second dedicated SSD slot one might be able to use the Wifi Card slot for a second SSD. Though most laptops I’ve seen with M.2 usually have two of them on the board in addition to the Wifi slot.

I would think a lot of laptops would have a way to add storage, just not necessarily SATA. My 3 year old laptop has 2 M.2 ports and no SATA.

Most new ones don’t these days. Especially high end thin and lights like mine
