See below -- but check inside the system before buying; you may need mounting hardware from Dell that's not present in the system.

Your computer supports one of the following configurations:

One 2.5-inch SATA hard drive
One M.2 2230/2280 for solid-state drive
One 2.5-inch hard-drive and one M.2 2230/2280 solid-state drive

The primary drive of your computer varies with the storage configuration. For computers:

with a 2.5-inch hard-drive, the 2.5-inch hard-drive is the primary drive
with a M.2 2230/2280 drive, the M.2 2230/2280 drive is the primary drive
with a 2.5-inch hard-drive and one M.2 2230/2280 solid-state drive, the M.2 2230/2280 solid-state drive is the primary drive

Table 1. Storage specifications

STORAGE TYPE	INTERFACE TYPE	CAPACITY
2.5-inch 5400 rpm, hard drive	SATA	upto 2 TB
M.2 2230 solid-state drive	PCIe NVMe 3x4	upto 1 TB
M.2 2280 solid-state drive	PCIe NVMe 3x4	upto 2 TB

You can easily add an SSD to almost any computer. You might need an adapter chassis to allow it to fit in the drive bay of the system. You will need to determine what size HDD is in your system and therefore search for the right sized SSD or adapter chassis. Since the Vostro 15 is a laptop I am assuming you have a 2.5 inch drive...

PCI-E to SSD is NOT an option EVER. You do not have UEFI bios nor do you have X4 PCI-E slot to put such a card in  If you still want optical drive you can put that into USB2 enclosure. I do not work for Dell. I too am a user. 11-20-2018 10:19 AM Re: Can I add a SSD to my Dell Vostro 270s? Yes this will work fine...
