I want to know what is the proper SSD for my Dell Latitude E5550 i7 5th gen., 8GB RAM. Right now I have a HDD and wish to upgrade my computer a little bit. I found the user's manual and the spec sheet online, where the storage options are described (right column of the image). The storage capacity is clear enough, nevertheless, I don't know whether if I can install any SATA SSD, i.e., SATA II or III, or maybe there's a limit related with the SSD speed. What dimensions of SSD are compatible and which will be the best?

All 2.5in SSD's should work, and at full speed. I personally love the Crucial MX500, since it's cheap and availible in packeges up to 4TB. I don't reccomend using the 4TB model though, since that may be limited to 2TB if your BIOS does not support GPT.

Their CPU is i7 5th gen, their BIOS does support EFI boot and GPT.– RomenCommented Jun 1, 2022 at 17:42
