Budget?

Where are you?

Details of your laptop? Brand and model.

That Toshiba appears to be a 2.5 inch spinning hard drive; 5400 rpm; perhaps 2012 vintage; most any SSD would be a major improvement.

A Crucial MX500 is a decent standard choice.

Probably almost any you want.

Details of your PC? Motherboard brand and model. If a pre-built, what brand and model?

You might be limited to 2.5 inch SATA drives or you might be able to use an NVME drive....depending on details of your PC or motherboard.

Crucial MX500 or Samsung 860/870 EVO

A Crucial MX500 is a decent standard choice. But there are lots of others that would be OK. Decide on capacity you need and shop locally.

You need an ordinary 2.5 inch SATA drive. Not M.2, not NVMe.

thank you so much, as for my goal, it is only 500gb therefore i will keep looking for other cheaper SSD alternatives with these specs while taking your suggestions in consideration.
thanks....

mx500 seems good but the evo 1Tb is a bit overkill for my target, thanks anyway
