Hi,

You can install an M2 PCIe NVMe SSD of your preferred brand and capacity (there is no limit to capacity). The service manual only mentions the drives the notebook could have been bought with.

Something like the Samsung 980 would be great.

On page 40 of service manual you can see the steps to replace the drive
