Hi @patpin
please can you supply the 8 digit MSN number found on the underside of the unit so it can be correctly identified.
thanks
MSN 300 23 793
Hi
as per unit specs MSN 30023793, your unit comes with 2 disks so you will be ablet to change either one of these.
The SSD will have to be a M.2 2280
@patpin it
I think it would be better just to exhange the boot drive, actual just 256 GB only with a 1 or 2 TB NVMe M.2 SSD for SATA III (6 Gbit/s) protocol.
A SSD is much faster than a HDD. But this second drive is a HDD with1TB, so it could be worthwhile to keep it - or you do replace the 1 TB HDD with a 2.5" SATA SSD in notebook size, 7, 8 or 9 mm thickness. I think the 9 mm willl also fit in your older NB.
It's all a question of cost.
Edit:
But for Data space, watching videos or keeping music or fotos. the HDD still is sufficient fast.
For exchanging the bootdrive, you have to clone it; in my opinion creating an image is even better, porting it to the new drive.i
Gives you more data security, also as a backup.

Tnx, Will Ubuntu also handle it?
would this fit into it ? Tnx! https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Transcend-MTS825S-Solid-State-TS1TMTS825S/dp/B0BF5VQYV9/ref=sr_1_23?crid=...
Yes it should. But the you have or to clone your old boot M.2 SSD. Or , more easy, make an image of your 256 GB drive, and flash it onto the new drive.
