I would like to know if the HDD can be replaced with an 2.5 SSD. Like this one,
SK hynix Gold S31 1TB SATA Gen3 2.5 inch Internal SSD | SSD 1TB | Up to 560MB/S | Solid State Drive | Compact 2.5" SSD Form Factor SK hynix SSD | Internal Solid State Drive | SATA SSD
Solved! Go to Solution.

Thank you for the additional information, @Jbundy0725!
Here are the Product Specifications for your AIO. If you look at the section titled "Storage" it lists all of the SSD's that will be compatible with your system. It appears from the information in the Maintenance and Service Guide that there is a M.2 socket on the motherboard. Look at the section titled "Illustrated parts catalog" and Item #10. Below the diagrams is a list of the M.2's that are compatible with your motherboard. This allows you to use your HDD and add a M.2, as well. You can use the HDD for system storage. Also, you could simply replace the HDD with a standard SSD.

@Jbundy0725 , welcome to the Community.
Do you have the 34", 27" or {23.8" (Standard or Touch)} AIO? I am not certain that it will make a difference, but I want review the correct specifications.
