SSD for cache and ram upgrade recommendations for DS920+

[AlexS]

Hey all,
I'm new on here and have purchased a DS920+ and awaiting for it to be delivered so i thought i'd get the rest of the upgrades that i need in the meantime.

Just wanting to buy 2 SSD's for Cache and was looking at the Samsung 970 EVO Plus 250GB M.2 NVMe and was wondering if anyone could advise if this is compatible and if there may be any better alternatives. My local computer shop has these for $89 AU.

I was also looking at a 16GB memory upgrade card adn was wondering if the Crucial CT16G4SFD8266 16gb ddr4 sodimm 2666MHZ 2Rx8 is compatible and if it is the best option for the price ? I believe it is around $87 on Amazon AU.

Thanks for all your advice in advance.

This model will work with 920 for sure: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B071KP8CGJ...d9c7a034ffb36b32f0c725d2fa4e988&tag=na0f1c-21

Hello Rusty,
Just one more question do you have the samsung 970 evo or samsung 970 evo plus ?
I believe the evo plus is around 20% faster.
Thanks for your help

ust one more question do you have the samsung 970 evo or samsung 970 evo plus ?

At the time I got them (a few years back) there were no plus models. So these are EVO.
