[SOLVED] Install an extra ssd

Hi,

looking to add a Samsung evo 860 1tb to have more space for my steam library

My questions are;

Is it easy enough to do?, I see pc specialist offer an upgrade service (my pc is from here) or easy enough for myself rather than putting it in transit (also would wait until things settle down from corona anyway)

Is that ssd good value for money?

from the picture attached where would it be best stored, should I get a tray or bracket?

I do have a m.2 nvme already installed and 2 spare slots for additional nvme but one would need to be directly behind the rtx 2080ti and the other I believe would restrict PCIe lanes so why opting for a sata ssd just to hold and play games.

can post build if needed.

many thanks

It looks like your drives are mounted on the other side of the case. I see what appears to be 3 places to mount 2.5" ssd's on the otherside there by the front watercooler fans and that the case uses drive trays so the install should be relatively easy.

Be sure to order a Sata cable. the drive will not come with one.

Do you know which case that this came with?
