HP ENVY Desktop - TE01-0034

According to my specs, I have 

Internal drive bays
One 2.5" occupied; One 3.5" available
The occupied bay has a 512 GB PCIe NVMe™ M.2 SSD.
I want to add a 2nd SSD in the 3.5" bay. What specs does this drive need to have? I.e. does it need to be PCIe NVMe, whatever that is? I see other drives being sold described as SATA, or various other acronyms. Would they work? Just want to make sure I get the right thing! Thanks.

SATA 2.5" 2.5"  (7mm) SSD would be the best option for the 3.5" bay as it plugs into a SATA slot.
