Hello!
I am planning to upgrade this laptop variant by adding an M.2 SSD. I saw this list on its campatible SSDs and I wanted to ask if this are the only SSDs I can upgrade my laptop with (refer below) or can I use an M.2 with a bigger and faster memory?
Also, is it advisable to replace the existing HDD with a SATA SSD or should I leave the HDD as is? If yes, what kind of SSD make or brand should I use? Can the SATA SSD be 1TB above? If no, should I just replace it with another faster HDD?
Any kind of advise would be great. Thank you for the answers in advance.

The m.2 socket will accept either an m.2 SATA3 card or an m.2 NVME card up to 2TB. The NVME card may be up to twice as fast as the SATA card.
A 2.5" SATA3 SSD can also replace the 2.5" HDD, again up to 2TB.The Western Digital Blues series of 2.5" SSDs and m.2 NVMEs cards should be fine upgrades for this model. The 1TB models seem to be the best deals right now.
