Vostro 5090 DT, can I add second Storage drive
I just received a Vostro DT 5090 BTX the base configuration with the i5 chip.
when I look at the specification I see this for hard drive configuration
I would like to add a second storage drive preferably a 2.5" SSD. When I open the case I see a SATA cable dangling by both the 2.5" drive bay and the 3.5" drive bay. The Service manual shows how to add both types of drives
My Question: Can I add a 2.5" SSD with a SATA interface or only a 3.5" drive?

You can go either way as I assume you are thinking about a 2.5" SSD. This link shows that the 5090 was available with an M.2 and an HDD configuration.
And this from the ports available spec on the 5090 support page.
SATA slots
Four SATA Slots for 2.5-inch HDD/ 3.5-inch HDD/ ODD
