Upon upgrading the ram I noticed soldering points for an interposer labeled HDD1, must have used the same motherboard as models with hard drives. I was wondering if there is a part out there that I can solder an interposer connector to install a 2.5 in. SSD? There's enough space in the chassis for a hard drive. I could affix it with tape. Was wondering if this sort of project is possible and if so what part would I need, I'm having trouble finding one and Dell hasn't been much help. Helpful but not completely. Thanks for the read.

Iā€™m not sure how the posting of pictures works, I hope these pictures help in answering my question. It appears that an interposer connector could be put in but I cant find the part from Dell.
