Dell Precision 3640 MT - Where's the hard-drive located inside my Pc?
Dell Precision 3640 MT - Where's the hard-drive located inside my Pc? And would I benefit if I'd make my separate SSD as my system drive? And if I would do so, then how to take out the default Hard-drive inside my machine then?
Thanks!

An SSD would be a big boost in performance over an HDD. The location and procedure for removing and installing drives can be found in the service manual here.

Hello @Heigen5 , you will certainly benefit from upgrading a hard drive to solid state drive. In most cases, the hard drive can be used as additional storage. You may not need to take it out.
It depends on your current storage setup, the upgrade path will be different. NVMe ssd can be added to M.2 slot on motherboard. SATA 2.5" ssd can be added to hard drive cage via adapter. Some components you may already have, some don't. A better system specs can get better advices from forum members. Here are the locations of your system storage:
