@Jaya_1676 Welcome to HP Community!

 

I understand that you would like replacing the optical drive with SSD.

 

The DVD SATA interface is slower and an SSD or HDD in such an adapter will not be bootable so the speed of the SSD is wasted. 

 

You do have a slot to add an M.2 2280 form factor SATA-3 type M.2 disk.

 

Please check the manual as well.

 

Keep us posted,
