Hi

 

Any current HDD will work.

 

But you need to provide a specific product number to verify you have available motherboard SATA ports and a place in the chassis to install a second HDD.

 

Sorry, you listed the product in the header.

 

You have four SATA ports.

 

Remove the side panel. Check the HDD cage to see if you can add a HDD.

 

You may also be able to add a HDD, using an adapter, below the CD/DVD drive if there is an open bay.
