Lenovo ThinkStation P3 Tiny Gen 2 (Intel) Workstation upgrades
No 2.5" or 3.5" bays and no SATA. The separate WLAN M.2 slot is not for SSDs. One low-profile PCIe slot is available via a riser card (x16 for GPU or x4 for adapters).
- DDR5 SO-DIMM / CSO-DIMM slot: 2 × DDR5 SO-DIMM · up to 128 GB total · 6400 MT/s
- M.2 2280 NVMe slot (PCIe 5.0, CPU): SSD M.2 2280 (NVMe) · up to 2 TB

DDR5 SO-DIMM / CSO-DIMM slot 2 × DDR5 SO-DIMM · up to 128 GB total · 6400 MT/s
Dual-channel. 64GB modules and DDR5-6400 need CSO-DIMM; plain SO-DIMM tops out at 48GB per module and DDR5-5600 (96GB total, inferred). Lenovo lists non-ECC only; one source mentions ECC depending on CPU, so verify with Lenovo before buying ECC. Do not mix capacities.
