According to the specifications provided by the support page of Sony, Sony PCV-RX991 has no SATA slots. It has only an ATA slot which is by default connected to the hard disk drive (250 GB). This means that it is not possible to install your PX-891SA internal drive into this computer. You can read the full specifications of this machine here.
