Hi, My manual says my max memory is 2 sticks of 8GB DDR4 2666 and that my M.2 128 ssd boot drive is sata III tlc.

 

When Crucial scans my system, they say my system can max out at 32GB and the M.2 drive is sata/Pcie. I also get the same thing from Crucial when I manually enter my model number. Which one should I believe?

 

Thanks

SATA/PCie is still SATA so no inconsistency there. Max memory officially is 16 gigs but it is well proven on Ryzen models it will take 32 gigs total so Crucial is right. You probably already know you COULD install a PCIe/NVME M.2 if you wish.
