Hi,

There is no extra slot for an M2 SSD. The best choice is to replace the 2.5" Hard Drive with a 2.5" SATA3 SSD such as the Samsung 860 Evo or similar.

In theory you could replace the hard drive and purchase the bracket for a M2 SATA3 SSD and then use it instead of the drive. However the 2.5" SATA 3 SSD will have the same speed.

On page 60 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive.

Hope it helps,

David
