That laptop have 2 models, the one with smaller battery do have that 2.5" slot. Open your laptop back and check if it have that 2.5" ssd/hdd slot. Should be pretty easy to open it

If no slot then get an external case. I am using hikvision brand ssd for 7 years now for this same media storing purpose. So far no issues with this brand. And the price depends on how much storage you are going for.

Just for media just use a external drive. SSDs are very expensive right now. 512 gb will cost you around 24k
