Windows 10: M.2 SSD for Asus NX500J laptop

Hi, I have an Asus NX500J laptop that came with a 512GB M.2 SSD and I want to upgrade it to 1TB or 2TB if possible. I just flashed the BIOS to the latest version 2019 which has a few bug fixes.
The current M.2 SSD it has is MZHPU512HCGL-00004, model #MZ-HPU512T/004.
I just purchased an addlink S70 2TB SSD NVMe PCIe 3x4 M.2 2280 and the laptop doesn't recognize it, so when I try to install an OS the SSD is not recognized. So if someone knows a 1TB or 2TB M.2 that I can purchase for this laptop I would truly appreciate it! Thank you!

How do I get my Gemini laptop to recognize the M.2 SSD card

 

M.2 SSD Partitioning

My OS is installed on an 128GB SATA SSD,

All other applications, when ever possible I used to install on another 60 SATA SSD.

I am very happy with the performance. It is pretty fast, better than if it were on the same disk. I have tested the difference.

Now I have a new ASUS ROG Strix B450-F Gaming Motherboard with Two M.2 slots.

I am going to buy a 512 GB M.2 SSD.

As I have under stood the SSD consists of 4 Nos of NAND Chis.

Therefore on each NAND chip, I presume will have capacity of 64 GBs.

My question is are they really independent ?

Can they behave as independent Hard disks?

If yes,

Can I partition my new M.2 SSD into an 198GB and 64GB partitions -that means 3 NAND chips and one NAND Chip?

and enjoy the same or better speed than before that I had with the SATA SSD?
