Chiming in a little late, but it looks like there is only one case style for your computer and it is setup to have one 3.5" drive in the bottom and two 2.5" drives can be installed on the inner front of the case.

Take a picture of the PC or try to find the exact model on the dell website so that people get an idea of what we have to deal with.

It looks like it is the M type (NVMe) and not SATA (one notch in the connecting end and not two), so make sure you don't get the wrong type:)

Hope this helps
