Hi,

 

It looks like the chassis supports two 3.5 inch SATA HDDs or two 2.5 inch SATA SSDs in addition to M.2 drive options.

 

You may have only one PCIe x1 expansion slot. A PCIe x1 slot will not support a data drive as a this device usually needs four PCIe lanes to move data.

 

Check this HP Support tutorial at this (Link).

 

Regards
