regular size SATA drives

 

SSD are 7mm thick

 

the bay will fit the SSD since the original HDD is 9mm thick

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

You can probably put a 2.5" ssd in there but only to replace the stock HDD. No mSATA and no optical drive to potentially replace with a hard drive caddy for a second drive.

Hmm maybe it does? I'm just purely going off of second-hand information, however.
