SATA and 2.5 inch
Unfortunately, this motherboard supports the older slower SATA 3 Gb/s (not SATA 6Gb/s) so you won't notice huge speed boost by adding an SSD to it but still it's not a bad idea to upgrade. You can add those 2.5 inch SATA 3D NAND SSDs.

Building a new PC with the latest hardware is the best thing to do if you need to.
I think you can include Intel in the top tier brands for NVMe SSDs. For most people a Samsung EVO will have almost no performance difference over a PRO.If money is not an issue and your mobo supports NVMe, pick WD Black NVMe, Samsung Pro NVMe or Corsair Force series as they are the best in the SSD world. Choosing between other brands is more like a trial and error.
Yes. That's right.I think you can include Intel in the top tier brands for NVMe SSDs. For most people a Samsung EVO will have almost no performance difference over a PRO.
How does Crucial compare to Intel and Samsung?Samsung typically has some of the best. Of the SSDs out there I tend to go with Samsung or Intel for quality and longevity.
But what really matters is the price you want to pay, what size you want, form factor and what kind of performance you really want. For example there are SATA and NVMe SSDs. SATA are still fast, vastly faster than a HDD, but NVMe is faster and was designed for SSDs while SATA was designed with HDDs in mind. But NVMe drives do tend to cost a bit more.
I would put Crucial in the second tier. That isn't a bad thing, but they are more price focused instead of performance focused. Crucial is often the value leader.How does Crucial compare to Intel and Samsung?

My motherboard is actually very old. It’s a Ga-78LMT-USB3.

The model is more important than the brand. You shouldn't buy cheap entry-level SSDs like WD Green SSDs!
