What kind fits my PC? I own an HP ENVY Phoenix 860-014 and wanted to add a 2.5" Samsung SSD underneath my 3.5" HDD. I've seen some kinds on eBay and Amazon but I don't know which specific one fits my computer. How could I find this out? And I wouldn't want an adapter at the top, as this will just slow up my SSD. Is there a kind that connects it directly to the SSD with no middle man?

hi
What do you mean by which corresponds?
You can install any type of sata SSD
currently, value for money, you have the Crucial mx500
and a little more efficient the WD blue
"And I wouldn't want an adapter at the top, as this will just slow up my SSD."
What are you talking about, if you have a 3.5 slot, you need an adapter, to place the SSD, that's not what will slow it down

Yes, you need a 2.5 / 3.5 adapter
What is the problem in this case ?
that said, if you want us to give you a precise model, that's something else, there are a lot of models, difficult to realize with a simple image.
most models easily adapt to HDD cages

Hi @SERGIUS98
I have used this adapter (Fenlink 2.5" to 3.5" SATA Drive Converter) with good results.
Amazon USA (Link) has this product. Check your locale for availability.
You are in the USA.
