Dell Inspiron 5577 double SSD?
Hi I currently have a 1TB HDD and a SATA 500 GB m.2 SSD in my laptop. I'm wondering if it would be possible to replace my HDD with a 1 TB SATA SSD (2.5"). This would mean I have 2 SATA drives on the laptop, is that possible?

Yes. I have a 5577 and have a 512GB M.2 SSD and I installed a "full size" SSD in the spot for a hard drive or SSD. I have a Samsung EVO 850 installed in mine.
I use my 5577 for my audio recording studio, not gaming. I have it set up for Dual Boot. The full Dell disc image on the M.2 SSD and Win 10 and my recording studio software on the added SSD. If I want to do regular PC operations (or Gaming) then I boot to the Dell image. If I want to do recording studio work I boot to the added SSD.
I have separate installations as I couldn't get the Dell disc image completely "clean" for recording. The separate install is Win 10, minimal drivers and only recording studio software, no other added apps.
