Welcome to the Dell Community @infra_ti  Yes you can. 500GB should be good enough but you may want to think of some thing a little larger??? Best regards, U2

Yes, and if you dont want to (re-)install windows, use the free Macrium Reflect v8.x to make a clone from your existing WD HDD to the new SSD.
Grab a "Media Bay" for your E6520 and put the new SSD into it. Clone the internal WD500 to the SSD. Remove the SSD from Media Bay and replace the SSD with the old internal HDD.
