Yes its possible. See p.37 of the Service Manual here:

 

Manual 

 

There is no slot for the most modern type of storage: M.2 or gumstick solid state drive but the existing 2.5 inch mechanical hard drive can be replaced with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD to very positive effect. A very worthwhile upgrade and prices have fallen drastically on SSDs in general. Its a straight swap. The SSD mounts right in place of the HDD with screw holes and SATA connections the same.
