Whichever SSD you are thinking of getting, do read online reviews before purchase, some larger storage SSDs in same budget are made of cheaper and slower hardware (like QLC NAND and DRAM-less) so be aware.

I'm not well versed with the technicalities of SSD, but the Crucial MX500 that you had linked (Amazon link) is based on 3D TLC NAND, which I believe is good (to the best of my knowledge). You can go for this.

This one that you have linked is a different form factor - M2. It is not a SATA SSD, which is what I believe you are trying to buy.

It's type of NAND. During beginning of SSD era, MLC was type of NAND. It later shifted to TLC - which is kinda mainstream now. For even cheaper drives, market have also got QLC NAND. Apart from type of NAND, there are drives which come with or without DRAM. This is generally used for caching. Drives without DRAM are again for cost cutting like WD Green, Crucial BX500, etc. These type of drives are getting upper-mainstream for storage in west.

Crucial MX500 is good drive. It has TLC NAND and includes DRAM cache as well. A bit more technical info, DRAM size is ~1MB/1GB size of SSD. So for 250GB SSD, it is 256MB.

Looking at the pic of the old hard disk which you removed from your laptop, then the Crucial SSD ( 2.5 inch SATA form factor ) which you linked on Amazon is the one you should get. Just look at the pics of the SSD on the Amazon page you linked and see it looks just like your old HDD.
