Technically, no - a hard drive is a 2.5" device that this system will not support.

It is possible to have two M.2 SSDs.  Manual has the details:

Welcome to the Dell Community @RKSHREE 

The information on this laptop is still not clear.

Have you tried removing the Base Cover yet???

Inspiron 5490 Service Manual:

I do not understand where two M.2 SSD's would mount???

There is an option for an Intel Optane with SSD combo card???

Now the strange thing is that there is an SSD/HDD ZIF connector just above the battery.

There is no mention of it in the manual???

That's why I ask if you have removed the Base Cover yet???

Best regards,

U2
