I have a 1TB 7200rpm SATA hard drive installed currently. I plan on buying an SSD(preferably m.2 nvme). I just need it as a low capacity boot drive to use with mass storage HDD. I plan on cloning my HDD to SSD and then formatting it. Do y'all have any recommendations for cheap nvme drives? Also, I found this HP EX900 SSD. I was wondering if it being made by HP helped at all.

You should be able to use M.2 NVMe SSD (slot) on your machine using
https://www.samsung.com/au/memory-storage/970-evo-nvme-m2-ssd/MZ-V7E2T0BW/
https://www.crucial.com/products/ssd/crucial-p2-ssd
https://www.crucial.com/products/ssd/crucial-p5-ssd
Or similar from reputable vendors. including HP EX900 as from your link.
One example (compatible drive, can use smaller/larger capacity)
https://www.crucial.com/ssd/p5/ct500p5ssd8/ct18120232
You can make it as boot drive if you wish
Regards.
