2x DDR4 SO-DIMM slots 2 × DDR4 SO-DIMM · up to 32 GB total · 2666 MT/s
Two removable 260-pin SO-DIMM sockets, nothing soldered. Native DDR4-2400/2666 at 1.2V; DDR4-3200 modules work but clock down to 2666 (or 2400 on some configs). Buy identical matched modules for dual channel (8+8 or 16+16 GB).

2x M.2 + 1x 2.5" SATA bay 3 × SSD / HDD M.2 2242 / M.2 2260 / M.2 2280 (NVMe / SATA) · max 7 mm thick
Both M.2 slots take 2242/2260/2280 drives, but one is PCIe-only and one is PCIe/SATA combo — check which is populated. PCIe 3.0 x2/x4 (sources disagree), so Gen3 drives are the sensible buy. 2.5" bay is 7 mm max; cable/bracket may not be included and there is no HDD door — bottom panel must come off.
