It's a little bit complicated. Sorisso is correct, the Samsung EVO is compatable with your laptop, however I do not believe it will work out of the box. You will likely need an adapter from Toshiba. The SSD that came built into your Toshiba laptop is a 1.8inch drive with a miniature SATA connector. Toshiba used a cable that has a Standard size SATA connection on one end to connect to the R700 systemboard, and the mini 1.8 inch connector on the other end to connect the 1.8 inch SSD. This Samsung SSD is a standard 2.5 inch drive with a standard size SATA port. In order to connect it to your Toshiba laptop you will need a new cable from Toshiba that has standard size SATA connectors on both ends. (Basically the cable from a model of R700 laptop that shipped with a standard laptop HDD instead of the 1.8 inch SSD). See this Toshiba Support Forum page where people are discussing this cable issue - https://forum.toshiba.eu/showthread.php?62313-Portege-R700-155-SSD-Connector-question.
