Looking for what is compatible for upgrading Omen 15-dh1054nr

[JC146]

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade the RAM and add a drive to my Omen 15-dh1054nr. I would just like some guidance before making any purchases. Is this device capable of 64 GB of RAM or is 32 GB the max? Also, it looks like there is already a 512 GB SSD, is there another slot for another SSD or only HDD? Thank you for any advice!

    (c) You can also do BOTH a and b.

As far as RAM, it looks like the RAM speed is currently at 2933 MHz . I have seen that sites like Crucial say there are 32 and 64 GB options at 3200 Mhz. Will that negatively affect my system to go from 2933 to 3200 Mhz?

As mentioned above

I can't see why from 3200MHz down to 2933MHz would slow your machine down when it runs 2933MHz as default. Just looking at a racing car, it can run over 300km/h on racing track but on normal 80km/h tracks, it has to follow the rules.
