The PC in question is this MSI laptop. Although the spec-sheet mentions M.2-SATA, I'd like to know if there is any way to verify this via software? I do not have the option of opening the case because of warranty issues, so a physical inspection is not possible.

Thanks in advance!

if we go by the spec sheet it says you have the SSD and a 1TB HDD drive. you can download a software such as SiSoftware Sandra to check your system specs. Or even Device Manager on Windows can give you some basic info

In the process of downloading Sandra. Windows tools don't seem to inform which bus the drive is using, or I'm looking in the wrong places.

Windows tools does mention it too! what does it says in the title bar? Toshiba!!!! and it even gives you the serial number for the product.
