Found this on Dell for your particular model:

"No, your laptop does not have an m.2 slot. You can remove the HDD and install an SSD in it's place. Any standard 2.5" SATA SSD will work. You may need a shim to install an SSD, as they're all 7 mm or slimmer, while your system is designed for a 9.5 mm hard drive. Some drive kits come with these; if yours doesn't, they're only a couple of dollars."

Dell lists up to a 2TB on their site for your laptop model with several different sizes in between. A 1TB model can be found here. A quick search on Amazon found the same SSD's for about the same price. The Crucial brand & model got excellent reviews.

You posted in another thread about a WD Blue 1tb with 3D nand.
I've used several of those and they are good.

The Sandisk Ultra 3D is the exact same drive with slightly different firmware (WD owns them)
Mx500 is another nice fast sata ssd
As are the more expensive Samsung 860 Evo's.

I would suggest finding which one is on sale or cheapest for your location and get one of those. (listed above)
