help My SSD seems non-existent, I feel insane

[UsefullPig]

I'm trying to replace the SSD in my laptop with a drive from a different laptop because the existing drive is way too small. Problem is, I can't find the SSD. I've attached a picture with the heat-sink, and battery removed. The silver rectangle in the middle is the memory enclosure apparently, and the port right below it is where the battery plugs into the board. The bottom left corner is where a 2.5" drive should be but it just isn't. What's really bothering me is that i can't find the SSD or any SATA cables.

 

The laptop model is this: HP X360 11-AB011DX
And here's HP's page about it: https://support.hp.com/us-en/product/hp-11-ab000-x360-convertible-pc/12499476/model/13583080/manuals

That's because it doesn't have any. It's MMC, may be soldered onto the board.

Are you sure it's a 2.5" SSD? It could also be an M.2 SSD, which could be hidden between the laptop motherboard and keyboard.

Check this by booting up the laptop, go to task manager > performance > press the disk you're talking about on the left and see the model number in the top right. Google this number and you should find what kind of SSD it is.

most of the laptops have a 2,5" ssd which slides into the slot on the motherboard

Apparently it's MMC, but I'll still do this trick to check. I think this laptop is way to cheap to have M.2

It's worth mentioning this is a really cheap laptop

Yep, typical for those to have a cheap EMMC instead of a real SSD.

Likely the chip at the top left of the RAM shield.
