I want to add a new 1TB SATA HDD into my laptop. But I read that inspiron 15 7590 which have a large battery such as mine does not a slot for SATA HDD. Is this correct?

According to the published Dell specs there is room for adding a laptop hard drive or full size SSD if you have the 3 cell battery. If you have the 6 cell there is no space. If you have the 6 cell battery you could upgrade the SSD to a larger capacity model.

Storage
Your computer supports one of the following configurations:

• One 2.5-inch hard-disk drive

•One M.2 2230/2280 Solid-State Drive (SSD)

• One 2.5-inch hard-drive and one M.2 2230/2280 Solid-State Drive (SSD)

• One 2.5-inch hard-drive and one M.2 2230/2280 Intel Optane storage

The primary drive of your computer varies with the storage configuration. For computers with a M.2 drive, the M.2 drive is the primary drive

Table 10. Storage specifications

I see, it is such a shame, should've bought the 3 cell battery one. Thank You for Input!!

No additional SSD but you could replace the existing SSD with a higher capacity SSD. I did that in my Inspiron 15 5577 gaming laptop. It came with a 256GB M.2 SSD and I replaced it with a 512 GB M.2 SSD.
