What for specifications do the SSD has? I want to replace, too but do not know the execactly specs. I bought a 30GB m-sata ssd and this is not accepted by bios and does not work.

It seems you'll need a miniPCIe SSD and not a m-sata (even if the form factor seems the same) and that's why your bios doesn't recognize it.

There are now miniPCIe mSATA adapters. I plan to try this.

Same problem here. I ended up putting my “new!” 64GB SSD in an adaptor and used it for a few years until it wore out!

Evidently the chips aren’t much good as withstood less than 700GB of writes according to the onboard diagnostics.

Strangely enough the adaptor worked with the original 16GB SSD and the 64.
