RAM upgrade and adding SATA drive

[Houmannew]

Hi, 

I have "HP Pavilion Gaming 15 0802no 15,6":

Product Number: 8BH45EA#UUW

and want to know what is the max RAM that I can upgrade my Laptop with? if it is 16GB, should I buy one 16GB or two 8GBs? how many memory slots this laptop has?

This Laptop also has the 256GB "M.2 PCIe NVMe" SSD can I also install a 500GB SATA drive inside?

Thansk, 

Houman

2. STORAGE: You can add 2.5" SATA HDD/SSD but you need following part

               Hard drive connector/cable part # L72698-001  

       which is N/A from HP

I could not find it from Amazon, Newegg ... Please use part # and search elsewhere. You can upgrade 256GB to 1TB or 2TB.

Thanks a lot Banhien,

1.Does the RAM required to be below 2666 or any DDR4 RAMs can be used like 3200mhz?(I understood that the speed will not reach more than 2400mhz in any case).

2.Just to confirm if I can get that cable part, would I be able to have both memories working in parallel?

Do I need a metallic  frame for the SATA drive as well?
