laptop ssd shenanigans.

[ReallyTheRealBatman]

ok, so I was looking to upgrade my friend's laptop storage, because as he was looking for a laptop, he came across a nice lenovo flex 2, nice specs and the lot.  I guess he assumed it would have plenty of storage to go with it, but it apparently only has 128 gigs of ssd storage, so I was looking to spare such an innocent soul from an unfortunate fate by buying him an ssd, but not (hopefully) an external one.  Will I be able to plug a standard ssd into his laptop, or will I need to spend countless hours searching for someone selling the tiny laptop sized ssd that I've seen inside laptops.  Unfortunately I haven't been able to look into his laptop myself, but the 14 inch slim laptop doesn't seem like it could fit a full ssd in.  Rip.

 

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help me (in my timezone it's past 1 a.m.) with this endeavor.

Follow your topics in the top right!

If the SSD isn't some proprietary shit, you should be able to use a standard 2.5 in SSD if it's SATA based, M.2 if it's NVMe/PCIe based

It uses a standard 2.5" drive possibly a thin 7mm one but hard to tell, check page 40 on how to upgrade the storage:

The only proprietary ssds are soldered on... If its a small one its either msata or m.2 both of which are easy to find. OK I watched a horrible video(took him 4 min to take of the back of the laptop...), but it seems like its a standard ssd.
