You have a 1 TB 5400 rpm SATA 2.5 inch drive installed. Here is the Service manual:

 

Manual

 

See p. 38 and the picture on p. 39. You can see the M.2 2280 SATA drive above the battery. The hard drive is to the left of the battery looking down after you remove the back cover. 

 

So yes you can get a 1 TB SATA-3 M.2 mSSD disk and install it in addition to the hard drive.
