I was suggested here to replace the SSD with HDDs and keep using HDDs from an external enclosure with a USB3 connector. Because the DVD bay isn't made to handle the heat dissipating through the HDD.

You can compare prices and get SSD from onlyssd(dot)com which is a reliable source recommended here by many members

Your laptop is too old,m2 slot start appearing in laptops in India only around 2017 & even today it is not as commonly found. My suggestion is to use your internal laptop hdd as external by using a usb 3 case from orico & use ssd in place of hdd.You can also replace dvd drive with ssd & continue using both hdd & ssd.
