SSD Port And Additional RAM

[braggonas]

Hi, I want to buy an SSD but I don't know what to choose among those:

1. M.2 PCIe (NVMe)
2. M.2 SATA
3. mSATA
4. Sata
5. Sata 2
6. Sata 3

Also this laptop has 4*2 RAM. If I buy one 8 GB RAM (probably different than the laptop currently use so it is gonna be one 4GB, one different 8GB RAM) will it work with laptop?

Thanks for reading and hopefully answering and sorry if I made any grammar mistakes.
