Hi! I am doing some research into having the best 4tb nvme with good performance, reliability and powerdraw.

I have looked and i understand why Framework choose sn850x for their 4tb .

There is another one that I find interesting: Firecuda 530 4TB and the powerdraw and performance seems to be very interesting compare to the sn850x

My question is, are there any other 4TB ssd that is good alternative for the one provided from Framework (sn850x) that I should look into?

Is Firecuda 530 4TB a better choice for the laptop?

My criteria is more on the reliability, power, effect on battery life and it does not run too hot.

I placed an order but the max ram writen on the website seems to indicate 64GB max. But out of curiosity, is it possible to upgrade to 2x48GB or 2x64GB DDR5-5600 on the framework 16? Will it be support by the motherboard?

As as far as I check the Ryzen 9 7940hs does support up to 256GB of ram.

Crucial currently has the 48Gb dimm available.
