Ah. I see what you mean. There is a legacy HD SATA connection. That connection can be used for a 2.5" SATA SSD.
You could use a faster (higher RPM) legacy hard disk, but a 2.5" SATA3 SSD would have considerably higher performance and use less current.

SSD products do not have anything electromechanical inside of them. RPM is not a thing with solid state drives. They are composed of electronic components.
There will be a single slot for an SSD and another used for the WIFI module. They are keyed differently.
