2017 5k M.2 SSD or a normal SSD when bought from Apple

[Roxy.music]

What SSD would Apple have supplied with the 2017 5k 2m or a normal SSD?
At the time it came out in 2017.
I just want to know as I am getting one from eBay,
I should think it will be a normal SSD.
But it would be nice if it was a 2M one though.
