Compatible SSD or SSHD for ATA ST500LT012-1DG14 SCSI Disk

I have assembled Inspiron 15 3521 laptop which is bought around 5 years back. Now a days, it started hanging frequently while opening browser, or while booting up or while working on any app. OR it processes /loads windows or any other application very slow. It's behavior is not constant on a particular action/event. I reinstalled windows multiple times; however for couple of days it works fine and again it starts giving such issues. I guess it could be hard disk issue. Any thoughts?

I am planning to change it's hard disk. Could you please help by letting me know compatible SSD or SSHD?

Current Disk info: ATA ST500LT012-1DG14 SCSI Disk

At 5 years old the HDD could certainly be showing signs of problems. But stay away from an SSHD. The performance is somewhat better than an HDD but nowhere near an SSD. There are many compatibile 2.5" SSDs on the market for your system. You can also go up to a 2 TB in storage capacity. The Samsung 860 EVO is a very popular drive and coupled with their Samsung Magician software, will give you vastly better performance than your HDD. Other makes such as Crucial MX 500, or WD Blue are also rated well.
