Hdd Mit Sd Slot

Re: For Dell G7 (15) 7588, Can I install a ssd on a hdd slot? Yes, you can install an SSD at the HDD slot. The SSD needs to be a 2.5' SATA SSD as only those SSDs are compatible to be used at the space of HDDs. In case, if you wanted to use both your HDD and SSD simultaneously then locate the free SATA port available on the motherboard and attach one end of the SATA cable to SSD and the other end to the motherboard. Or in case, if you have a U.2 SSD, then a free U.2 Slot and a U.2 cable are needed to make a connection.
