The specs of your machine is

Looks like the series does not offer dual storage options therefore no available part for 2.5" drive. You can upgrade 256GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD to 1TB or 2TB using

Or similar from reputable vendors.

Other vendors are following Apple to offer machines with M.2 SSD only. I've 2 Surface, 2 Dell machines and 2 HP machines without slot for 2.5" HDD/SSD. Worse case, one HP machine does not have SD card reader at all therefore I have to use external card reader.
