@andrsam, welcome to the forum.

Yes, you can install a SSD into your computer.  Here are the SSD's that are recommmended by Crucial Memory.  There are Installation Guides in the lower left side of the page.  If you want more information about the SSD's you can contact Crucial's Tech Support for help.

Hi,

The hard drive cage as provisioned only supports one drive. However, you might be able to fit a 3.5" to dual 2.5" device adapter into the hard drive cage. If the adapter fits, then you could run a combination of 2.5" HD/SSD devices.  Do a google search on "3.5" to dual 2.5" bay adapter".

@old_geekster, thank you for the answer, but this installation guides can't describe how to install a secondary SSD drive.

Why one drive, there is a free place in the hard drive cage?

Can i install a SSD M2 into my computer?

Hi,

The Memphis2-s motherboard is not provisioned for a m.2 SSD.

Adding a dual 2.5" adapter and replacing the 3.5" HD is probably best left to a local competent PC repair shop as HP doesn't have any documentation on how to do so.  I just suggested that possibility for your information since you desire was to "add" an additional SSD.

Another suggestion is to replace the existing 3.5" HD with a larger capacity SSHD (SSD built into the HD). Again, I suggest that you have a local competent PC repair shop do this task as there are a significant number of tasks to do the replacement.

Adding a dual 2.5" adapter can allow me to keep current 3.5" HDD?

Hi,

Adding a dual 2.5" adapter wouldn't allow you to use your current 3.5" HD.
