Please let me know if this helps.

Thank you aryzen for helping out also.

This model has three different chassis versions:

4 x 3.5 inch Hard-Drive System

4 x 3.5 inch Cabled Hard-Drive System

8 x 2.5 inch Hard-Drive System

- SSD disks are 2.5"

- 3.5" chassis is not upgradeable to 2.5"

The best you can try is purchasing some 2.5" to 3.5" enclosure like this https://www.startech.com/en-us/hdd/25sat35hdd and see if it works. I can't guarantee it will work because I have never tried, but theoretically it should.
