Here is the Service Manual.

 

Manual

 

The PM871 is a 2280 form factor SATA-3 M.2.

 

There are two bays on the bottom easily accessed and opened:

 

M.2 circled in red. HDD green arrowM.2 circled in red. HDD green arrow

 

You can replace the pm871 with just about any SATA M.2 such as the Samsung 860 Evo or WD blue or you could add a 2.5 inch SSD in the hard drive bay where the green arrow points above. Your model likely came with all the needed mounting hardware.
