From what I can tell, you have two 2666mhz ram slots for up to 32gb, at least one M.2 NVME slot that the drive is installed on, and three 6gb/s SATA connectors. No information on what is connected to those sata ports or in there's more NVME ports. But, I'm going to go with a loose "yes" you should be able to add at least one SATA SSD.

There's also a cage for a full size HDD. Page 61 shows that only 1 of the 3 SATA connectors is in use (assumedly by the HDD in the manual example), so there's connectors for additional storage.
THAT said, if the NVME model comes with an empty HDD cage (don't be cheap Levono, include it), you can use a dual adapter to put two SSDs in the HDD spot. Example: https://www.amazon.com/ICY-DOCK-T...B00GMGZBP0

student/military/senior discount stacks, which brings it down to $650 + 10% cashback = $585 (tax not included)
this deal is SLICK, however, not much room, if any, for upgrading the parts
on pcpartpicker, the config with cheapest options works out to $700

I appreciate the link to the dual adapter, that'll could come in handy when I replace the HDD.
