Need new SSD/HDD

[Yodamustibe]

I got a new laptop last year for Christmas but it had a very small SSD with only 256GB.  Recently I've started to have space problems and I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation on an internal HDD/SSD to install along with my current one (looking to spend no more than about $150-$200).

 

This is the computer I got https://www.amazon.com/Dell-15-6-Inch-Quad-Core-i5-6300HQ-Processor/dp/B015PYYDMQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479934855&sr=8-1&keywords=dell+gaming+laptop

Question: is the SSD an M.2 or 2.5" drive? I have that laptop, but got the hard drive version so I don't know if the SSD version uses the M.2 slot or the 2.5" slot.

 

Otherwise, if space is an issue, I'd say get an HDD or a hybrid drive. You can at least stretch your money for the space. And as long as all your daily programs are on the SSD, the HDD will happily park as long as you're not touching it.

Just be sure to back it up.

if I took the back off how would I know which slot it occupies?

Here's one I think that is pretty good for your price range.

Ok I checked and the M.2 slot is occupied while the 2.5" is empty and has a big HHD in the center.
