Yes, you can add and SSD to your AIO using adapters
Unplug the following from your DVD
Obtain the following adapter from somewhere.
Get an SDD that has plastic parts or tape over any metal parts and see if you can fit it where the cables to not touch any fans or hinder any air flow. WD500 blue is $60 at Walmart
According to your spec you already have a 256gb m.2 boot "C drive" and a 7200 RPM 2TB drive.
I recommend getting a USB3 external drive. You can get up to 5tb and not need external power adapter.
Anything bigger get a 2 unit Synology NAS and a pair or 12tb or bigger drives and set for JBOD or Raid0 to add to 24tb or more. The drives can be access from anywhere on the internet easily.

hi
sorry @BeemerBiker just a quick question
@ZeynELTr why do you want to add a simple SSD instead of the dvd drive?
I'm not sure that's the best choice!
Since you already have an m2 drive and a 2TB HDD..
you have little advantage in doing that, in my humble opinion!
there may be a better option..
