Here is the Service Manual:

Manual

See p. 44. In addition to the 2.5 inch SATA bay for a hard drive/SSD, there is a slot for a 24 or 32 gig mSATA mSSD. It is complex to explain but this type of mSSD cannot be the operating system disk. It can be used to speed up the main hard drive using Intel Rapid Storage technology which allows "acceleration". So for cheap you could add such an mSSD and speed up the hard drive. However, this arrangement is not as good as simply replacing the slow mechanical hard drive with a 2.5 inch SATA SSD. 

This is what the mSATA mSSD looks like:
