Question from Adrian:Asked on 01/09/2026How many SSD slots are there? If I want to want to upgrade the SSD would I need to replace the existing one or can I simply add another?
Answer from JimsonGuzman:Answered on 01/09/2026
Hi, the MSI Crosshair 16 HX AI (9S7-15P421-009) has 2 M.2 SSD slots, with one currently occupied by the supplied 1TB SSD. This means you can add a second compatible M.2 SSD to increase the storage capacity without needing to replace the existing drive.
Thank you.
