Below is the link to the service manual for your notebook:
HP 340 G3/G4 NotebookHP 346 G3/G4 NotebookHP 348 G3/G4 Notebook Maintenance and Service Guide
Your notebook only supports SATA SSD's.
If your notebook came with a 2.5" mechanical hard drive, you can replace it with a 2.5" SATA SSD.
From the way I read the manual, only the notebooks that came with M.2 SATA SSDs from the factory have a M.2 slot to install a M.2 SATA SSD,
You are going to find that SSDs and memory prices have skyrocketed due to the increased AI demand for chips.
This would be the 2.5" drive model series I recommend. They come in various storage capacities.
This is the 500 GB model for example.
