I tried putting a regular second hdd in sons computer his is a dell 8300 xps that I upped its memory to 16gb and replace the power supply and swapped out the video card for a slight improvement. Anyway I put in a 4tb drive and fought and fought with it and at times it would show and at times it would dissapear, from both screen and bios . and his computer kept crashing, after almost pulling out what is left of my hair I called local computer guy and told him all steps I had tried and he said I had tried everything he would have and maybe it was just too old of a bois with that motherboard, and it would never work with over 2tb (which is what it wanted to format that to without me telling it no make it 4) SO we have a 2tb ordered (regular hdd ) and hope it should work. Now back to my real question :Will a SSD work in this computer? and if so how big of one will it accept? ty hate to seem stupid but I am an old DOS man and used to simpler times 
Would want to replace his current 1tb hdd with the ssd and leave in a 2 tb hdd as a second drive
