I have an Dell Inspiron 7506 2n1 with an Intel Optane H10 512 GB SSD. I run Adobe, Office and VirtualBox with linux distro guests. I have run out of disk space and want to upgrade to 1TB of storage.
I had planned on buying a 1TB drive like the one in the link below and using Macrium software, clone the drive increase the C: partition to its maximum value.

I am not really a hardware person but after some reading and checking BIOS of my laptop. I am now realizing this isn't as easy as it would be if I was upgrading a non-Optane drive because of the RAID 0 configuration Optane seems to use.
Am I better off in just getting the 1TB version of the above Optane drive or are there still a series of steps necessary to deal with upgrading a RAID 0 SSD?
Can I get away with upgrading without a lot of difficulty to a non-Optane drive like the one in the link from my Optane one? There is a significant price difference (nearly twice the amount!)
Any links or guidance is appreciated. Sorry for asking what are probably some pretty basic questions for hardware enthusiasts.
