I have a 2 TB SATA HDD.  Can I add a 256 or 512 SSD or do I need to replace HDD with an adequate size SSD?  If I can,  assume it has to be an SATA SSD like the Samsung 860 EVO?  Thanks.

@josietails , welcome to the forum.

 

Here are the SSD's that are recommended by Crucial Memory.  I believe that the Samsung EVO 860 should work, also.  You will need an adapter to install the 2.5" SSD into a 3.5" drive bay.  There is no M.2 socket on the motherboard.

Thanks for your quick reply!  I wasn't sure which adapter to get so I got two different ones - a "tray" type by Insignia and one by Crucial.
