According to your screenshot, you have this model SSD:

THNSFJ256GDNU Toshiba HG6 256GB SATA 6.0 Gbps SSD (memory4less.com)

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates your notebook can support NVMe SSD's which can be up to 5x faster than a SATA SSD.

Your notebook's M.2 slot is PCIe Gen 3.0, so you have two options that I recommend:

If you want to stay with a PCIe Gen 3.0 drive, I recommend this one:

Amazon.com: SAMSUNG 980 SSD 1TB PCle 3.0x4, NVMe M.2 2280, Internal Solid State Drive, Storage for P...

If you want to transfer the drive to a newer notebook in the future that has a PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD slot, I recommend this model:

Amazon.com: SAMSUNG 990 PRO SSD 1TB PCIe 4.0 M.2 2280 Internal Solid State Hard Drive, Seq. Read Spe...

The Gen 4.0 SSD will run at about the same speed as the PCIe Gen 3.0 SSD from your notebook's Gen 3.0 SSD slot.
