So My main question is, can you use all 3 slots simultaneously and what’s the highest GB capacity you can go in each individual slot? Like what capacity do they cap out at?

@notebooksbilliger 2 жыл бұрын

Hey, you can, as we show in the Video, use all 3 slots simultaneously. There is, technically speaking, not really a limit. NTFS, which is the filesystem of Windows 11, can handle up to 8 Petabytes per Volume, but there is no way to put that much data into the Nitro 5 :). Currently I think the most you can do is around 12TB since 4TB per drive is currently what consumer SSDs will offer. However, if you happen to have VERY deep pockets there are 16TB SATA SSDs around as well. But you can get about 2 to 3 Nitro 5 for that kind of money.

Can I ask, what is the actual max memory that can be installed in the AN517-54-72Z3? Acer claims the max ram is 32 Gb, but Intel claims the I7-11800H can handle up to 128 Gb of ram memory and while looking for information I found a company MemoryStock claiming and selling 64 GB for the aforementioned laptop. It's all very confusing when everyone gives you different specifications and I am upgrading the ram and a 2nd PCIe SSD and want to get the most ram I can safely handle. Thank you in advance...

Hey, well yes, but at the current SSD pricings, there is just no reason anymore to buy a HDD. The performance aside, SSDs provide other benefits like being way more resilient to shocks and other environmental influences. They also draw less power and are completely silent, while HDDs may be audible while being accessed. You're totally fine to get a rather cheap QVO or dramless SSD for that purpose though.
