SSD & RAM Upgrade

[Rafakat]

I am using Probook 450 G1 with 4gb ram & 750 gb hard drive.

Q1: I want to replace my 750GB HDD with Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB (From Factor:2.5). Is it properly suitable for my laptop?

Q2: Also I want to put my old HDD to ODD slot using a caddy with 9.5mm thickness.

Is there will be any problem when I want to use 500GB SSD and 750GB HDD together?

Q3: I want to upgrade my 4gd ram. In my laptop there has two slot for ram. I want to use in 2 slot each with 8gb ram.( 2*8 = 16gb ram)

Is there any problem to using 16gb ram in my probook 450 g1 laptop?

Thank You

Probook 450 G1 is a series of many different machines/configurations. In general

A1.  Yes, you can use standard 2.5" SATA SSD drive, 500GB or larger capacity such as

              https://www.samsung.com/semiconductor/minisite/ssd/product/consumer/860evo/

        Or similar from reputable vendors.
                  One example (compatible drive, can use smaller/larger capacity)

A2. Yes, you can put old HDD to a caddy and use it as second HDD, they can run together.

A3. Yes, you can upgrade to 16GB using DDR3L (lower voltage) since normal DDR3 RAM is a bit hard to find

I want to upgrade my 4gd ram.

In my laptop there has two slot for ram.

I want to use 2 slot.

In slot-1, there has a 4GB  DDR3L 1.35V SDRAM (1600 MHz), 

In slot-2, I want to add a 8GB DDR3L 1.35V SDRAM (1600 MHz).

So, 1*4  &  1*8 gb, total 12gb.

Is it possible to using 12gb ram in my HP probook 450 g1 laptop?
