AN515-42-R8H1. SSD/RAM UPGRADE

bDaniel

Hey guys. First time posting on this, first time when I am not sure about something and I need a little help from you.

I want to add  a SSD to this laptop and I am not sure if it is good. If it should work with it. But from what I learned from other websites I came to the conclusion that it should be good. I want to add this one :

Samsung 860 EVO M.2 500 GB SATA M.2 Internal SSD https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B078WQVX9B/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_9ApZDbWX09XNQ

And I don't know what type of Ram I should add to it. I don't really want to add more ram right now. But this is for later. Maybe I will want totupgrade it and then I will know exactly witch one to choose. Sorry it was this long of a thread. Stay safe out there.

Hi,
Yes, you can use the Samsung 860 M.2 SSD, as for the memory, download and install CPU-z and find out the speed and CL value in SPD tab, then buy the matching module and install.

I have 32GB in my laptop with the same model.
I left the stock 256GB SSD in there as it is made by Hitachi (atleast on my model).
I put a 1TB SSD in the 2.5" drive slot and use that for my games / storage.
