I got a Firebat R3-IG4Z16N8 for $221 USD. I replaced Windows 11 with Ubuntu 26.04 (after disabling bitlocker encryption). I added 128GB in NVME to it.
The top slot (in this photo), accepts M.2 SATA/NVME but the bottom one only accepts SATA. So you need to remove the FSTW30-512G from the original slot, move it down and add the NVME in the top one.

* Firebat write speed value is actually the average write speed (benchmark).
Because the higher speeds of NVME, it would make sense to install the main OS on it for better performance. Nonetheless, the original storage is already pretty good for booting and regular usage.
