Upgrade RAM and SSD on Erazer Scout E10 ( MD 62527, MSN 30035424)

[GEM]

Hi all

I'm looking to increase RAM and storage on my Scout E10 (MD 62527, MSN 30035424).

I couldn't find this model on the Crucial.com website.

For the RAM: As there are apparently 2 RAM slots, one is taken by an 8GB stick, the other seems free .

- Can I put any DDR4-3200 stick or is it better to have a particular make/model?

- Is it OK to put for example a 32 GB in addition to the existing bar (8 GB), even if it seems unbalanced to have an 8 Gb-32 GB pair or a 8 Gb-18Gb one?

For the SSD: is there a free slot on my machine ?

Can I add a second SSD without touching the existing one?

- Can I take any PCIe NVMe M.2 or is it better to take a particular make/model?

Thank you for your answers

Bonjour @GEM  and welcome
Manufacturer brands are usually not mentioned here, all commercially available ones are suitable.
You can upgrade the RAM to a maximum of 64 GB. equal pairs are recommended.
8 GB DDR4 SO-DIMM (PC4-25600 / 3200 MHz) is now installed
and an SSD / M.2 (2280) 512 GB Phision PCIe GEn 4x4. you can install another SSD M.2 PCIe GEN 3x4. Your computer is a barebone Clevo NP70PNJ (-M). Here you will find a service manual which describes how to disassemble it. load NP70PNHPNJPNK SM(20221222).zip

Hi @Fishtown Fishtown. Thanks for the information. Can I ask where you got it from? Specifically the maximum memory that can be installed?

Thanks so much. I’ll be installing 64GB tomorrow hopefully

Please let us know how it went!

All worked perfectly. I also added another 1Tb SSD. Most difficult bit was prising the back cover off after removing the screws

[GEM]

Thanks for the feedback. Both RAM and SSD are recognized and working OK?

[Squowse]

Yes. I think maybe the screenshot is "waiting for approval"

[GEM]

Yes, sorry, the screenshot wasn't visible when I asked.

You said you added an SSD. So there was a free slot available?
