Upgrade SSD iMac 2020 Core i5 3.1Ghz 27-inch (Retina 5k) available?

Thank you guys with all your answers and patience with my lack of knowledge!

Purchased an iMac 2020 with 256 GB SSD.

Question 1: Is that upgradeable (Storage)?

Question 2: Wonder if there is a SSD upgrade for iMac 2020 with 256 GB Storage. In some videos I’ve noticed that there is a socket In the logic board like the iMac 2019 series (using OWC Aura Pro X2). Is that usable? Another thing there is no cable for HDD like the 2019 that uses a HDD Fusion. Is there a socket in the logic board to plug one? If I use an external SSD (NVME 980 PRO with OWC Envoy Express Thunderboalt) it will be the same speed of the SSD that is soldered in the Logic Board?

Thx

Cheers!

No the SSDs on 2020 are absolutely not upgradeable. . You could use an external SSD, I would recommend the following.
