Hello. I have a ThinkPad E550 with the following specs:
Ram 8 gb
Cpu Intel core i7 5500u
Gpu amd Radeon r7 m265 2gb
WD hard drive 5400rpm
I want to replace my hdd with and SSD. I have two questions. One is that can I use both an hdd and ssd at the same time on my own laptop? Also what connection should the ssd have to fit and work on my laptop? What ssd would you recommend me to buy which has a long life span and is fast enough for my laptop?
I've checked my hard drive with crystal disk info and speccy they both say the reallocated sectors count is 140 out of 200 and the health status is good. But I've read that if the reallocated sectors count is something else than 0 there is a chance that the hard drive can stop working at any second. Also read error rate is 51 out of 200. Should I worry about the health of my hard drive?
Here is a picture of my laptops back

Also I have another question. Do you think it's worth to buy an extra ram module as I have an empty slot? Would it be a wise choice while my cpu is low performance to buy another ram module?
Please help me out. Thanks in advance
