• I have HP 15-DA0327TU  and i want to know if i install 32gb ram ( 2×16gb )ram will it damage my laptop or should i use 16gb ram (2×8gb)

If the notebook supports 32 GB of memory, installing 2 x 16 GB wont damage it.

Chapter 1 of the service manual indicates that 2 x 8 GB is supported.

HP 15 Laptop PC Maintenance and Service Guide

16 GB is usually sufficient memory for most users but if you feel that there is a reason you need to install 2 x 16 GB, run this command to see if that would be possible:

1. In the search box, search for cmd and click Run as administrator.

This will open the command prompt.

2. Once command prompt is opened, type wmic memphysical get maxcapacityEx and press the enter key.

There, it will show the maximum RAM capacity your PC's motherboard can support.

The capacity is shown as Kilobytes, so you have to convert it to Gigabytes by dividing the number provided in the report by 1,048,576.

As i checked according to your instructions after dividing the number i got 32 answer....so can i get it to max capacity will it harm my laptop....and can i purchase 3200mhz ram or lesser mhz ram

As I wrote yesterday, installing 32 GB of memory will not harm your notebook.

You can use a 16 GB DDR4-2400 CL7 memory chip or a DDR4-2666 CL19 memory chip or a DDR4-3200 CL22 memory chip.

All memory will only run at a maximum speed of 2133 MHz because that is as fast as your notebook's i3-7100U processor can run the memory at.

Ok sir then i will install 32GB ram (2×16gb)....can you also please tell me which nvme ssd is best and do my laptop support gen4 nvme ssd or only gen3 nvme ssd

[Paul_Tikkanen]

I think for the money and performance, a Crucial NVMe SSD would be a good choice for your notebook.

The SSD slot is PCIe Gen 3.0.

While a Gen 4 SSD will work, it will not run at its maximum advertised read/write speeds from the Gen 3 slot.

There is another thing you should be aware of...

The NVMe slot is PCie 3 x 2 which means only two of usual four PCIe lanes are used..

For example if you were to buy a Crucial P3 Gen 3.0 SSD which has a maximum read/write speed of 3500 MBPS/read and 3000 MBPS/write (for the 1 TB drive), it is only going to run at a maximum throughput of 1750/read and 1500/write.

The 500 GB model has a max write speed of 1900 MBPS

So the slower the advertised read/write speeds of a Gen 3 drive you buy, the slower it is going to run

So sir which generation ssd will be best to purchase 

[Paul_Tikkanen]

You'll have to do some comparison shopping.

You may find that nowadays a PCIe Gen 4.0 SSD costs even less than a Gen 3 drive does.

The Crucial P310 Gen 4 1 TB would probably give you close to the same performance as the Crucial P3 Gen 3.0 from the Gen 3 slot, and I can't even find any of those for sale in India anymore.
