So the only m.2 slot for SSD drive is occupied by a 256gb disk (picture).

Is there any other ways to install an extra SSD drive to this PC? Or is my only option a HDD drive if i want more?

    In that case you should get an internal SSD SATA 2.5 "support like this;



    And you will use the standard Sata motherboard connections,
    identified in numbers 10 and 11

    Or you should replace your standard HDD or swap the DVD burner with the Sata SSD.
    It connects to the same SATA standard cable as your HDD.
