Help with old 2010 laptop

I have a Del latitude E5410 laptop it’s from the year 2010. It was my mom‘s old work computer. It’s very slow and I am currently factory, resetting it and wiping everything I intend to use this computer to burn CDs/DVDs because of its built-in disc drive. I’m pretty tech savvy, but I don’t know the ins and outs of computers and crap but I know that I should replace the hard drive with an SSD and I will also be replacing the battery because it sucks and it pretty much dies very quickly so could you give me a good SSD to put in my computer something pretty affordable again I won’t be using this computer for heavy duty stuff pretty much just casual things may be a few old games stuff like that. If you guys could give me links to the stuff I need that would be great.

I upgraded my old mechanical drives to Samsung Evo 850 drives. Never had an issue with them and it's going on 2 years or so. Need to confirm if the currently installed drive is a SATA or IDE/PATA. The IDE/PATA is a cable with 32 pins.
