Good day,

Since I only have 4gb of RAM and a 1tb of storage.
I want to add a partition of 256gb of SSD and additional 8gb RAM. I would like to check if these items are good for the upgrade.

https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-Technology-HyperX-2666MHz-HX426C16FB2/dp/B06XNRXCV6

https://www.amazon.com/XPG-SX8200-Gen3x4-3000MB-ASX8200PNP-256GT-C/dp/B07K1MDMF3

Thank you all :)

    Your model is the same as mine and although the RAM is 2666mhz it only operates on 2400mhz, so you can buy either, Also mismatching RAM does work but can cause problems, not only are you going for a different brand but you are also going to mismatch capacity, it may work but why risk it, this forum has many posts from people who have mismatched and now have problems, also these names like "Fury" and "Hyper" are just marketing gimmicks and mean nothing, just buy good quality RAM with the correct specs at the best price you can. Personally 16gb RAM is my minimum so I would buy 2 X 8gb. The link below is compatible RAM and SSD for your model from Crucial but don't buy it there instead find the ones you want and write down the part number then go to Amazon and buy it there, it's cheaper and faster delivery

    I'll take note on this. May I know if the SSD will also work properly in my Laptop?
    Thanks.
