It's a Seagate ST31500341AS drive.
With SSDs it's generally better to stick to the Big Three manufacturers - Samsung, Intel and Crucial. You can use any capacity drive you wish.

I like the Crucial MX200 I would advise getting at least a 256 GB SSD. If you want to use Dell Factory settings on the SSD see here:
