Hello kind strangers.

 

I was wondering if I would be able to put an SSD into my current motherboard. I don't fully understand how SSDs work or fit into the system but the main question I am asking is: Is it possible to get an SSD into my currrent Sunflower MOBO equipped system?

@MitchellD,

You can either install a 2.5" SSD drive, or an M.2 SSD.   See Crucial page for examples (bottom of page).

Either device works like a hard drive, but has no moving parts. Because you have an existing 1 TB (1000 GB) hard drive, you need to decide what size SSD you will use.   Whatever you decide, the "used" GB's on the original HD must be less than the SSD.
