Dell Latitude 3560

I was thinking of installing a 128 gb in my Dell Latitude 3560 with it's original HDD which is 500 Gbs, i was just curious that does my laptop support 2 hard drives being used at the same time. SSD for operating system obviously and HDD for my folder and data.

Plz guide me through this so I could make a proper decision!

You need to replace the hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD -- there is space for only one 2.5" drive (and no support for M.2 SSDs) in the system.

128G is too small for a Windows installation for long-term use -- 256 or even better 512G is a better idea.

You don't save much by buying a 128G vs 512 -- and for that matter, don't save much buying a 512G vs. 1 1T SSD.

See earlier answer - no, you can't use two internal drives.  You must replace the existing hard drive with a 2.5" SATA SSD.

So that leaves me where i am right now that i can't use both at the same time. Like no room for smaller ssd.
