Does aspire f5-573t 545K have slots for SSD and HDD?

I have Aspire F5-573T 545K and I been wanting to upgrade to SSD, I now have HDD 1TB, but I was wondering can I have both? is there a slot for the SSD chip instead of removing HDD and transferring data over to the new SSD if I could just put in a new SSD Card?  I read somewhere that it does but I wasn't sure if the mother board can support both at the same time as most high-end laptops nowadays do. 
Please let me know, thanks!

Yes, it has one socket for a 2.5" HDD or 2.5" SSD and one socket for an m.2 SSD card. Both can run at the same time. Jack E/NJ

Thanks Jack, 

Just one questions since I have HDD and I Am looking to upgrade which of these 2 SSDs will boost the performance on my laptop, would just be getting the 
M.2 SSD boost the performance and I leave HDD as is or would you recommend getting 2.5 Seta SSD and do the whole data transfer and then replace the HDD with Seta SSd?

Yes, the easiest is to simply replace the 2.5" HDD with a 2.5" SATA SSD.  You could also  install a plain vanilla m.2 SATA card as a 2nd drive, try to migrate HDD boot system to it as the C : \ drive, and use the HDD as the D : \ drive. However, some folks have had issues in migrating the boot system from 2.5" format to m.2 drives --- an m.2 boot drive should work but may take some frustration and effort to get there. Jack E/NJ
