What type of SSD in my HP Compaq Elite 8300 SSF?

[_4Jeff_]

Hello.

Im wanting to buy an ssd for my desktop, and im wondering if my ssd would fit. It is a SanDisk SSD PLUS 240GB Solid State Drive. I have a HP Compaq Elite 8300 Small Form Factor PC. Also, can i keep my old one in? or do i have to replace it? Or if there is a cheaper ssd you know of that has a decent amount of space, (240GB and up) please let me know.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff

Hi.

You can dock your SSD, from your old equipment with a special bay, here you have cheap SSD:

The following specs says it has

• External: (1) 13.33 cm (5.25 in), (1) 8.89 cm (3.5 in)
• Internal: (1) 8.89 cm (3.5 in)

Machine has 3.5" bays and normall SSD's are 2.5" therefore physically you need 2.5" to 3.5" frame/adapter:

Many are simpler and cheaper.

Thanks. I will look at those. So I would need a special mounting station for my ssd? Or is that just so i can keep my old one?

@banhien so i would need a special frame for a ssd?

Could I use this for adapting my ssd into my hdd slot? https://www.amazon.ca/Mounting-Adapter-Bracket-Drive-Holder/dp/B00OCBB56Q/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=151...

Or would this work?

As mentioned above, some are very simple and the one from BB is ok.
