Page 2 of the manual says the series supports single storage pre-installed:

 

SSDs: (not available on the mobile workstation)

● M.2 (2280) 512 GB SATA-3 TLC

●  M.2 (2280) 256 GB PCIe-3×4 SS NVMe

●  M.2 (2280) 256 GB SATA-3 self-encrypting (Opal 2) MLC

● M.2 (2280) 256 GB SATA-3 TLC

● M.2 (2280) 240 GB SATA-3 MLC DS

●  M.2 (2280) 180 GB SATA-3 self-encrypting (Opal 2) MLC

● M.2 (2280) 180 GB SATA-3 MLC

● M.2 (2280) 128 GB SATA-3 TLC

You can use 500GB, 1TB or 2TB. As you can se, it uses 2280 (22mm x 80mm)format therefore you can use STANDARD M.2 SSD drives.
