Your PC only has two (2) SATA ports so adding a SATA SSD in not possible unless you want to give up on using the optical drive.
However, you could add a m.2 NVMe SSD to your PC.
If you search the forum you will find posts suggesting such an option. Review this thread and this thread for more details.
