Hello Acer Community,

What I need help with is what kinds of ram can go in the extension port on it because i need to know ddr4, ddr3 2 or . also can I upgrade it to an ssd because My storage has dissapeared. btw I only have steam and war thunder so its nott much. any help appreciated

    Hi, this model comes with one RAM SODIMM slot, which enables you to upgrade the soldered 4GB memory with maximum 16GB to a total of 20GB RAM. In terms of storage, you get one 2.5-inch SATA drive bay and an M.2 3X2 slot for SATA-3 OR NVMe SSDs, a Gen3 NVMe will run at only half the rated speed in a 3x2 slot.

    There is also a 12GB RAM model A315-51 that can be upgraded with maximum 8GB DDR4 2666MT/s Non-ECC Unbuffered SODIMM CL19 1RX8 1.2V 260-pin Memory for a Acer - Aspire 3 A315-51xxx - Kingston Technology

    You can replace the 2.5" HDD for a larger and faster 2.5" Sata-3 Samsung 870 Evo V-NAND 2TB SSD or install a Gen3 NVMe SSD up to 1TB in the M.2 slot like the Samsung 970 Evo Plus.
