Can I add a HBB to my HP Pavilion Desktop - 570-p026?

Can I add a second hard drive to my HP Pavilion Desktop - 570-p026? If so, are there any issues or problems I should be aware of?

Also, do I need to have a cable between the new hard drive and the mother board?

TIA!

@Dave_in_Denver2, welcome to the forum.

There is a M.2 SSD port on the motherboard.  You can look at the motherboard diagram in the link that I provieded.  I am not certain which SSD it will require, but you can look at the article explaining the different Keys here.  You won't need any cables if you use a M.2 SSD.  You can use it as the boot drive.

Hi,

There have been a few posts on the forum where a m.2 SSD  was desired for the "Lubin" motherboard. Look for a Samsung MZVLW256HEHP PM961 256GB M.2 NGFF PCIe Internal SSD - OEM.
