DDR4-3200, SO-DIMM 260 pin, e.g. these modules would work, for best performance and dual channel always install the RAM in pairs. This kit has 32 GB RAM (2 x 16 GB): Kingston FURY Impact (2 x 16GB, DDR4-3200, SO-DIMM 260 pin)

What model is this product? Intel sells the following ones: NUC10i5FNHWA, NUC10i5FNHCA, NUC10i5FNHJA. The former two items are listed as "discontinued" on Intel website. One of the previous answers above says: "This kit has 32 GB RAM (2 x 16 GB)" but the only non discontinued model from Intel (NUC10i5FNHWA) only 1 x 8GB RAM. The description in this product could be more specific. When it comes to the disk it is also unclear what is included. The model from Intel reports that comes with a 512GB NVMe SSD, while here it's reported a S-ATA III (2x). Again, unclear what is included and unclear what the 2x is for, considering that the slot is only one. Also it's unclear whether it comes with an SSD on or not. Can the description of this product be more accurate? When users want to configure these units the accuracy of the information provided is critical to buy the necessary components to go with it.

Which SSD disk can be installed internally? For example, can I use this WD Black SN770? (https://www.digitec.ch/de/s1/product/wd-black-sn770-2000-gb-m2-2280-ssd-18756199

NVMe SSDs fit in here, they have the M.2 key. However, I wouldn't necessarily recommend this model because of the rather old CPU. These SSDs would be recommended, but from 1 TB (smaller sizes cost too much and are slower than the 1TB variants): Seagate FireCuda 530, Solidgm P44 Pro, WD Black SN770 or WD Black SN850X. This Intel NUC has an Intel 12th Gen CPU, which is much faster, so I would recommend paying the extra price for it, because the CPU Core i5-1240P is about 3 x faster than the outdated Intel Core i5-10210U CPU, also the graphics in the i5-1240P is massively better.
