Parts store only includes smaller drives, very high cost.  Appreciate recommendations  Ideally would fit inside cradle of old HDD and use same connector

The parts list indicates your notebook came with a 1 TB 2.5" mechanical hard drive.

Your notebook has support for a M.2 NVMe SSD, so I recommend you get one of those and either remove the 2.5" mechanical hard drive or use it for storage only.

 

If you plan on retaining the 2.5" drive, you have to format it and remove Windows from the drive, or the notebook will always want to boot from the 2.5" drive first and not the SSD.

 

A value priced good performing NVMe SSD for your notebook would be one of the Crucial P3 models.

 

This is the 1 TB drive for example:

 

Amazon.com: Crucial P3 1TB PCIe Gen3 3D NAND NVMe M.2 SSD, up to 3500MB/s - CT1000P3SSD8 : Electroni...

 

However, if you would rather replace the existing SATA drive with a SATA SSD, I recommend this model:

 

Amazon.com: Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s,...

 

It would use the same mounting hardware as the existing drive after you remove it.

 

Note that a NVMe SSD could be up to 5x faster than a SATA SSD.
