Gigabyte B550M DS3H upgrades
Motherboard, not a complete system. Specs differ by revision (Rev 1.0-1.3, 1.4 AC, 1.7), especially M.2 lengths, so check the revision printed on the board. The 'V2' revision could not be confirmed; Rev 1.7 was the closest match.
- DDR4 DIMM: 4 × DDR4 DIMM · up to 128 GB total · 3200 MT/s
- M.2 M2A_CPU (CPU-connected, M key): SSD M.2 2280 / M.2 22110 / M.2 2242 / M.2 2260 (NVMe / SATA)
- M.2 M2B_SB (chipset-connected, M key): SSD M.2 2280 / M.2 2242 / M.2 2260 (NVMe / SATA)
- SATA 6Gb/s ports: 4 × HDD / SSD 2.5" / 3.5" (SATA)
DDR4 DIMM 4 × DDR4 DIMM · up to 128 GB total · 3200 MT/s
Dual channel, unbuffered only. For two modules use A2 and B2. Rated up to DDR4-3200; higher speeds (up to 4733) are overclocks, so check the QVL. ECC mode depends on the CPU.

M.2 M2A_CPU (CPU-connected, M key) SSD M.2 2280 / M.2 22110 / M.2 2242 / M.2 2260 (NVMe / SATA)
PCIe 4.0 x4 only with Ryzen 5000 and 3000 non-G CPUs; G-series APUs run PCIe 3.0. Newer revisions (1503 manual, Rev 1.7) list only 2280/22110, so 2242/2260 may not fit.

M.2 M2B_SB (chipset-connected, M key) SSD M.2 2280 / M.2 2242 / M.2 2260 (NVMe / SATA)
PCIe 3.0 at best, usually x2 (one manual says x4/x2). Newer revisions list only 2280, so shorter drives may not fit.

SATA 6Gb/s ports 4 × HDD / SSD 2.5" / 3.5" (SATA)
Chipset SATA ports with RAID 0/1/10. This is a bare board with no drive bays, so 2.5"/3.5" mounting depends on the case. SATA cables are needed.
