U can use a laptop HDD caddy by removing ur DVD drive if u have any and put it HDD in that place and use SSD in ur HDD place
Something like this will help

As opethian said, you can remove your DVD Drive, get an HDD caddy and add an SSD or HDD into that, I'd recommend shifting your hard drive in the caddy, and having the SSD for the OS in the main internal drive bay.

OR

Make one time investment, get a 500GB SSD and use that as your main drive.

That's what I've done, and I keep my SSDs every time I sell a laptop. Haven't gone back to using HDDs and can't think of how slow things will be if I ever go back to using one.

Just make sure why disk usage is at peak. Open resource monitor and narrow down the extra used process. Windows run many background process for no reason. You can always end them to avoid full disk usage.
Regarding buying SSD you can use caddy to install it. Samsung SSDs are good but price wise little hight. You can always switch companies according to budget.
