Sure, add RAM capacity (which is impossible with apple hardware when I’m right?)  
Watch this NAS, it provided SHS with 20+ GB…

Your macbook doensn’t seem to allow more than 8GB for some reason.  
But I wonder why? You can run _ **150 - 200 apps** _ on 8GB…  
(I know, I know, when purchasing my first PC back in the early 90s, I opted for 8MB RAM instead of the standard 4MB’s. With 8MB I was future proof!  
Yes, MB, not GB 😆
