Hi:

 

Your notebook uses a M.2 2280 SATA SSD, not a 2.5" drive.

 

2.5" drives are not supported.


If you want to install a 1 TB drive, then this is the type you need:

 

Western Digital 1TB WD Blue SA510 SATA Internal Solid State Drive SSD - SATA III 6 Gb/s, M.2 2280, U...

 

Below is the link to the service manual:

You're very welcome.

 

You can use a portable SSD to store files on but if the 128 GB drive is getting filled by the operating system, programs and whatnot, you may want to replace it with the larger capacity M.2 SATA SSD.
