Replacing the drive in a Inspiron 7567

Hey everyone, I recently was able to get an Inspiron 7567 for a great price thanks to a family member switching to console gaming (silly peasant) but for some reason this one has a strange hard drive in it. He had the original solid state repaired and there is a now a 500GB basic Seagate hard drive inside that desperately needs to be replaced.

I opened up the laptop and saw that there is only the one hard drive bay which is a bit of a problem but I can make it work. What I would be looking for is a large solid state drive (preferably 1TB but will settle for a 500GB as long as it is solid state) so that I can partition it and install Windows, Steam and my games on that and use the rest as a normal drive. Can anyone suggest some good solid state drives that fit these requirements, and if possible a place to get them would be great :D Thanks in advance everyone. 

I was looking for a good deal on a solid state drive around me, and one of the results that came up was someone selling a nice 1TB Solid State Hard Drive on https://www.for-sale.ie/solid-state-hard-drive  and the seller was nice enough to help me get everything installed on it and even gave me some programs to make the drive perform better and monitor the performance. Cheers Mike, don't think you will see this but you are a class act mate. And thanks to everyone for the advice on here, made my decision a lot easier.

You can replace the hard drive with any standard 2.5" solid state drive you wish - you can also keep the hard drive, and install an M.2 (card format, 2280) SSD.  The M.2 drive will be the more expensive option - though there are both SATA and NVMe versions of it (the faster the SSD, the higher the cost).

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I kind of fell out of the discussion when it comes to hard drives after not having a computer for a year and now getting this one things have changed so much. Last hard drive I bought was a  120GB Kingston SSD Now that was almost $300 cost price, and now you can buy a 1TB for only a couple hundred more. Oh the world we live in.
