A:Answer This desktop doesn't come with a SSD, but it is super easy to add one in the M.2 slot. Slide it in, install one screw (not included) and you are off to the races! See the suggested drive, great drive but you can go with a smaller one. Use a program like Acronis or Samsung's proprietary cloning software to clone your hard drive to the SSD and you'll have much faster startup and you can use the factory 1tb platter drive for extra storage. I added a Western Digital Blue 1tb 3d Nand drive to mine and the startup is way faster!
