There is no option to install an internal SSD without adding some sorts of adapters. There are few options

 

(a) Install normall SSD to replace the exising HDD; This could be the cheapest way and easiest way, all you need is a new SSD drive and bracket to hold the SSD (not over $10) because SSD's are smaller (physically) in comparision to normal HDD's for dsktop.  The following articles may help

(b) Install PCIe SSD: This is another option but more expensive and a bit harder to install
