Yes, you can do it but see p. 59 of the Manual here:

 

Service Manual

 

You might be surprised to see that it is not a very simple procedure but it will work if you replace the HDD with an SSD in the hard drive compartment. 

 

You need a 2.5 inch wide SATA SSD. Like this:

Post back if you need any more help with software reinstallation.

Hi,

 

Basically you can use any SSD but Samsung, Crucial and SanDisk are the good choice. You can use very sweet option today: 1TB any of the above brands.

 

Regards.
