Here's an image taken from this [link|https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbxJh2nHqj8|video] showing the location of the sata SSD drive in the laptop. (see red arrow in image)
The laptop supports a ''2.5" 7mm ***sata 3*** SSD'' with a capacity of up to 4TB (4000GB).

''Note:'' Unlike the person in the video, disconnect the battery from the motherboard i.e. you don't have to remove it, just unplug it (see green arrow in image) as soon as the cover has been removed and before doing any further work inside the laptop. This is so as to minimize any possible electrical damage from occurring to the components when working in the laptop. There's always power on the motherboard somewhere even when the laptop is turned off. The power button is not a power isolating button. Before unplugging the battery cable, check for any latches locking bars etc on the battery cable connector on the board and don't pull the cable out by the wires. Grab hold of the sides of the cable plug connector and gently pull it out. Remember to reconnect the battery, last thing, before replacing the back cover ;-)
