I want to change this HDD with a SSD drive. How do I know which drive to look for? Do i need some kind of adapter or i just have to plug it?

Oscar B - Sep 3, 2020

The HDD is connected using Serial ATA (SATA) and most modern SSD drives will also use a SATA connection. You will be able to install the new drive without any adapters.
