Hello, I'm thinking of adding an SSD to my desktop but when I looked inside the case, I noticed there was only one last SATA port available. I currently have one HDD and a disk drive, the last SATA port is colored white is that ok? Yes, you can use the White SATA connector. You will need a to add a data cable, also.
I looked online and from what I'm getting, it depends on the motherboard. Also, do I need to get a seperate mount for my SSD,
or does my case come with it installed already. You will need to buy a 2.5" to 3.5" SSD adapter.
Thanks in advance.

P.S Heres the link to my exact motherboard. https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/omen-by-hp-870-200/13687063/model/15741160/document/c05355651
Here are the SSD's recommended for your computer by Crucial Memory. As you will see, there are M.2 SSD's recommended. I don't see any M.2 socket on your motherboard for a SSD. The only socket is for a LAN card. Crucial makes very good products at a reasonable price. If you want more help with choosing the best SSD for your system, you can contact their Tech Support. They have always been very helpful.
