I have a few of these in my dead drawer! Between the slow mSATA SSD (3.0 Gb/s or 6.0 Gb/s on the newer drives) they also tends to die when the drive is overly full.
I strongly recommend sticking with one of the Apple custom SSD’s as they will give you better performance (6.0 Gb/s). In any case You are limited to the Apples custom mSATA/AHCI drives as this system does not have the logic to support PCIe/NVMe drives.
As far as upgrading the logic board you are limited to what this system physically can support which is still just another mSATA/AHCI logic board. [link|https://everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=MacBookPro10,2|MacBookPro10,2]
Take the time looking for a used newer system like a 2014 or 2015.

This is what the SATA Express & PCIe interface offers. The Red path is all you have in this system.

While Apple’s interface is a bit different physically and they added a few extra lines its basically the same.
