No: MSI lists one PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 slot for the B2RWEKG, so more storage means replacing the drive. A 512GB drive fills fast with games, and our SSD shelf (R1,199 to R15,499) only helps if you pick an NVMe M.2 model.
No, there is no room for a second drive. The MSI Cyborg 15 B2RWEKG has a single PCIe Gen4 NVMe M.2 slot according to MSI's specification for this regional variant, so adding a second SSD to an MSI Cyborg 15 B2RWEKG is not possible. More storage means replacing the 512GB drive already in the slot, or plugging in an external one.
You cannot add a second internal SSD, because MSI lists one M.2 slot for the B2RWEKG. You can swap the 512GB drive for a larger NVMe M.2 SSD, or add capacity over USB without opening the laptop. Evetech's SSD shelf runs from R1,199 to R15,499, and only the NVMe M.2 models are relevant here.
MSI publishes slot details by regional variant, so the code on your laptop's label matters. Flip the laptop over, find the model code and match it to the specification page for the Cyborg 15 family before you spend any money. A South African review of the Cyborg 15 AI B2RWEKG names the model and its 512GB SSD, which is why the slot count above is tied to that exact code.
Do not mix the B2RWEKG up with other Cyborg 15 variants. Evetech sells several Cyborg 15 configurations, from 512GB to 1TB, and their storage details differ, so check yours against the label rather than the family name.
The slot takes an NVMe M.2 drive, so a 2.5 inch SATA SSD will not fit and a SATA-only M.2 drive is the wrong choice. Both can look similar on a shelf, which is why the product name matters: look for NVMe and PCIe Gen4 in the title, like the 500GB WD Blue SN5100, priced at R1,999 on our solid state drives shelf.

A Cyborg 15 is often a first gaming laptop for a student in res at Wits, Tuks or UCT, where a shared fibre line makes every 100GB game download a long evening task and deleting a title to make room means paying that download again.
Windows and its updates claim a sizeable slice, and a handful of large current games, some past the 100GB mark, fill what remains. A varsity student who keeps coursework, a few games and a 100GB download on a 512GB drive will run short within months. That is why capacity usually decides the upgrade, not speed.
Plan the numbers before you buy. A 1TB drive doubles your room, and if you keep Windows and apps on it the remaining space is roughly 900GB, enough for a large library. After the swap, keep the old drive in a USB enclosure as a spare backup, so the original install is still there if the new drive misbehaves.
A USB external SSD adds space without touching the internal slot, which keeps your game library off the system drive and spares you the swap. It is the safer choice when prying open a gaming laptop's bottom panel does not appeal, and it keeps working when you move to your next laptop. Pick a USB 3 drive and plug it into a USB 3 port so it does not slow your game loads.
