Sorry to tell you, you are limited to what the system has for drive I/O which is only SATA II (3.0 Gb/s)
PCIe/NVMe interface is a newer standard for drives there is no means to install one of these SSD’s
With that said, you do have a SSD option! Replacing your current slow spinning rust drive for a 2.5” SSD! Here’s the guide [guide|3401]
Sadly, you can’t use the iFixit kit SSD (Crucial) as it is designed for the newer SATA MacBook Pro’s which have a SATA III (6.0 Gb/s) interface.
-You’ll need a drive which is able to run at the slower SATA II (3.0 Gb/s) speed. As an example the [link|https://s3.ap-northeast-2.amazonaws.com/global.semi.static/Samsung_SSD_870_EVO_Data_Sheet_Rev1.1.pdf|Samsung 870 EVO SSD]. If you review the spec sheet note the ***Interface*** line clearly states “SATA 6 Gb/s Interface, compatible with ***''SATA 3 Gb/s''*** & 1.5 interfaces” Review the SSD you are looking at spec sheet if it doesn’t state this more on to another drive.
