According to the specifications here, the Inspiron 5577 supports one 2.5" SATA drive and one M.2 SSD, and the latter can be either SATA or the much faster NVMe type. If you want to add a new disk and keep your existing one, then you'll want to see which type of drive you already have so that you can make sure to buy the opposite type in order to use both simultaneously. If your 2.5" bay is open and performance isn't a concern on the new drive, then you could just buy a high-capacity spinning hard drive to install there. If you want to replace your existing drive with a new one, then that definitely shouldn't be a problem. Again, NVMe SSDs will deliver the best performance out of all available options, so you might want to look into a Samsung 970 Evo for that.
