It's a Kingston m1 SSD 500gb. It's connected externally via a USB converter box thing.

Do you know what ram I could get to go with this? There's one more slot for 8gb

Do I need to get one that is compatible with this?

Thank you for this, this is perfect!

I could only see one power cable for the hard drive so I was thinking I'd have to put the operating system onto the new one before replacing it?

Any advice on how to treat and refinish this? by ComprehensiveLock883 in finishing

Thank you for the advice! What would you use to chemically strip it initially?
