Can you provide the following information from the command line (run these commands and paste the output):
*$* system_profiler SPHardwareDataType *$* system_profiler -detailLevel mini SPSerialATADataType SPParallelATADataType ** you may want to remove/redact the "Serial Number (system)" and "Hardware UUID" values before emailing.* That will provide some information on your existing system and disks which will make it easier to determine what appropriate replacements are needed. Normally, I would look at CPU performance, amount of RAM and disk speeds (HDD vs SSD vs NVMe makes a huge difference). Hope that helps!
