Here's the Service Manual:
Yes there is a spot for an mSATA mSSD. However, it is not a simple thing where you can find a disk, plug it in and use it as the boot drive for the OS. The mSSD is designed to be used to "accelerate" a mechanical hard drive using Intel Rapid Storage. It is a technology that had a brief moment in the sun 4 or 5 years ago. The new "Optane" storage using PCIe/NVME disks works on a similar principle although this system is grounded on mSATA, not NVME/PCIe.
These were sold only with a 32 gig mSATA mSSD because thats all the bigger one can use for acceleration.
You CAN find larger mSATA mSSDs of the right form factor BUT the BIOS will not allow the system to boot from the mSSD disk if a regular sized hard drive is installed in the main 2.5 inch SATA bay. You can use just the mSSD and not plug in a 2.5 inch hard drive but this is not a good idea. Running the OS from the mSSD is no faster than simply installing a 2.5 inch SATA SSD in the main bay in lieu of a spinning hard drive. And the little mSATA mSSDs are a bit more expensive per gig.
I have never seen one bigger than 256 gig but I hear they were made up to 512 gig (mSSDs that is).
Post back if you want to discuss more. Putting a small 32 gig mSSD in the slot and setting up acceleration is actually quite a worthwhile improvement. It does not cost much and it makes bootup and opening windows much faster. Also easy to do. The app is built into Windows.
