Brief explanation.
You could prefix the data store keys with 'slot1_' followed by the user ID of the player.
Don't understand DataStores?
To create saving slots in a Roblox DataStore, you can use the SetAsync method of the DataStoreService class. Here's an example of how you might use it:
local DataStoreService = game:GetService("DataStoreService")
local myDataStore = DataStoreService:GetDataStore("MyDataStore")
local function saveData(player, data)
local playerKey = tostring(player.UserId)
myDataStore:SetAsync(playerKey, data)
end
local function loadData(player)
local playerKey = tostring(player.UserId)
local success, data = pcall(myDataStore.GetAsync, myDataStore, playerKey)
if success then
return data
end
end

Oh ok thanks!
Glad I could help. Could you please mark this as an answer to help others who may have the same question?
How do you do the big letters?
umm you didn't use "local success, data" correctly
it should be "local success, data = pcall(myDataStore.GetAsync, myDataStore, playerKey)"
