What SSD hard drive do you recommend for a 520-1030 Desktop PC?

If no recommendation will a

SAMSUNG 870 EVO SATA III SSD 1 TB 2.5” Internal Solid State Hard Drive

be adoptable?

Hi:

 

Yes, that model should work fine in your PC, but since the mechanical hard drive is 3.5" you will need a 3.5" to 2.5" drive adapter so you can properly mount the smaller 2.5: SSD where the larger drive is now.

 

Another option would be this model drive which has the same performance specs:

 

Amazon.com: Western Digital 1TB WD Blue 3D NAND Internal PC SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, 2.5"/7mm, Up to 5...

 

The newer generation has slower write speeds for some reason, but it is priced considerably lower than the Samsung 870 or the older generation WD Blue SSD.

 

Amazon.com: Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s,...
