have a look

Hard Drives:
500GB 5400RPM SATA HDD
1TB 5400RPM SATA HDD
2TB 5400RPM SATA HDD
Solid State Drives:
128GB SATA3 M.2 SSD
Solid State Drives:
256GB SATA3 M.2 SSD
Solid State Drives:
512GB SATA3 M.2 SSD

nope, SATA only, no PCIe NVMe support

so you will have to get one with the connector your laptop supports of course, the key type I mean of the M.2 form factor SSD

Here I found our M.2 equipped laptops to boot quite a bit faster than others that were SATA only.
