It's to add a 2.5" HDD or SSD to the unit for extra storage, or to even use it as the system drive.

You're quite welcome.
On my GK1, which has the same type of case as the AK1 and AK1 Pro, I use it for an alternate system drive. My GK1 is a few years old, and it has eMMC for internal storage, which is a good bit slower than the types they use now. So I instead put Windows 10 on a 250GB Samsung 840 EVO SSD in that bottom mounted add on storage carriage, and then Linux Mint on the internal eMMC storage, which works well because it's a lot less speed and resource hungry than Windows. I have Windows drive set to boot by default, but it's easy to boot to the Linux Mint with the F7 boot menu on startup. The best of both worlds.
