    Yes, you can install a 2.5" SSD or HDD with this part no. 50.HGLN7.003. Less than $15. Google search the part no for vendors who ship to your location. The drive can be immobilized and protected inside the case with anti-stat foam instead of a metal bracket part no. 33.HGLN7.001


    If you live in the US or Canada, you can request a 2.5" HDD installation kit at this link   If not, some regions already have this kit hardware already inside the case. It's still better to use foam since laptop interiors are already crowded enough without adding more metal and screws.
