Hello F_galarza,
I'm sorry that we are not able to guarantee the compatibility and performance of 2TB SSHD on this model, we only tested Seagate1TB.
For RAM, we have tested Hynix and Samsung.
Thank you.

you can upgrade laaptop, but it is advised to upgrade after the warrenty period is over. To upgrade the ram you have to install the same model of the previously installed ram.
to do that download CPU-Z and in the SPD tab copy the part no. and google that to find a compatable ram.

You can upgrade straight away. It will not void warranty. Just open and see what's inside. Luckily mine came with one stick of 16 Gb. Found absolutely the same model in Amazon and now it's 2x16. Pay attention when opening for the led strip connection cables. Watch some videos on YouTube. And No - they do NOT need to be unplugged (as all the youtubers state), just twist the cover in the right direction. One more thing - two of the screws are not made to be removed. They have a washer, which holds them in place when unscrewed.

I wouldn't be afraid to put a 2Tb HD in a 2.5 SSD would be better but what ever as long as it is the 2.5 notebook hard drive format and no more than 9.5mm thick
just match the RAM you currently have you can check with Crucial website they have a tool that will tell you what will work.
