Hello,

I can't seem to find an answer to my question How to put an SSD in my laptop (model ASUS N551ZU-DM022H with AMD FX-7600P, 8gb RAM 1600 ddr3L, AMD Radeon R9 M280X 2GB GDDR5) I got HSTG hdd 1TB and as i can see the motherboard has no m.2 slot, but I donno how to connect a Sata 3 ssd nor a m.2 ssd to the dvd slot, I read somewhere that the special case to connect it is called a pci-e cage? Correct me if I'm wrong!
I know that there are regular sata 3 ssd. .and m.2 sata 3 ssd... also m.2 pci-e ssd's .. which of those can I actually install on my machine and which will work properly and won't be in the way of oher hardware parts?

Sorry for troubling you,
Thanks in advance!
