It is a Samsung Nand type.

Samsung is a bit strange in some regards. The company does not always specify which type of memory or memory controller is used unless it is a new type marketed by Samsung.
I suggest instead using a Samsung 840 or 850 SSD.
There was no SSD in the specification of your desktop PC, so what do you mean to say?

There is enough space for an SATA SSD.
Use an SLC type SSD. NVMe variants will not be recognized by the BIOS in your desktop.
It was not necessary to change the PSU to do that.
An SSD uses less power than the legacy disk did.

> I only need to know if there is space and a slot for 2.5" SSD.
Note that a SSD is very small, and it has no moving parts, and it's very light-weight.
Thus, it can be placed almost anywhere inside a computer, as long as the "power" and "data" cables reach it.
So, if your desktop computer is never moved about, the SSD can just "hang".
Granted, this is not perfect, because it may block some air-flows, but "IT WORKS".
One "slot" that probably is available is the "legacy" slot for a 3.5-inch "floppy-drive", which almost nobody still uses.

However it is just something from 10 to 20 GB so you can't really put there anything else than OS. I will probably buy Samsung 840 or 850 SSD.
