It is DDR2 memory so 8 gigs is the most you are going to be able to install:

 

Service manual

 

I have never seen an 8 gig DDR2 SO-DIMM module in any event. That does not mean they do not exist but even 4 gig DDR2 SO-DIMM is very very pricey per gig. 

 

Your storage is SATA so you can install any sized (capacity) drive you can find and I believe they still max out at 2 TB for spinner drives 9.5 mm thick and you can actually find larger 2.5 inch SATA SSDs but you would have to mortgage the farm to buy one. 

 

Post back with any other questions and please accept as solution if this is the info you needed.
