Adding a SSd to a HP4540s

[MilesFlint]

Tried Googling and ended up here,so maybe you guys can help me please, or point me in right direction, will carry on looking so long.

I need to replace my HP 4710 and would like a HP 4540s but want to convert it to a ssd , straight away.

Question is can the 4540 run two drives ? or do I have to loose the Sata drive and have it as a external in an enclosure ?

Would this than take up dvd drive space ?

any input will be appreciatted !

Looking at the back side, with the maintenace cover removed, soes NOT look it it will support daul HDDs.

A possible option is that a DVD adaptor that holds a HDD can be swaped for the DVD drive. Outside of that the only option is to instal a SSD and put the HDD into a 2.5" enclosure and use it as an external drive.

Thank You
Swopping them out was plan B ! and than an enclosure !!! (Have one some where )
On the up side if I had a smaller SSD I would have back it up easier and more often cause you have to keep it tidy !

Thanks for prompt , response , nice sounding board .
Will feed back when it arrives.
