Targeted MacBook Pro upgrade

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3 SODIMM modules built for the 15-inch MacBook Pro with a 2.5 Core i7 from late 2011. The sticks run at 1333MHz with CL9 timing and 1.5V unbuffered operation. They fill both memory slots to reach the machine’s 16GB ceiling.

From 4GB or 8GB to the maximum

The late 2011 15-inch model shipped with 4GB or 8GB and officially supports 16GB across two sockets. Swapping the original pair for this kit doubles or quadruples capacity in one step. The jump is worthwhile when the system slows under multitasking, virtual machines or large creative projects.

Two-slot kit, no extra parts

Installation uses the existing 204-pin slots beneath the bottom case; no tools beyond a screwdriver are required. The modules have no heat spreader, so they fit the tight clearance. Because the board accepts only two sticks, this kit occupies every slot and leaves no room for further expansion.

Questions about this item

Will the 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM modules fit the two memory slots in the MacBook Pro 15-inch Late 2011 A1286?

Yes, the kit contains two 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM sticks and the MacBook Pro 15-inch Late 2011 A1286 has exactly two SODIMM slots, so both modules install directly.

What is the correct orientation when inserting the DDR3 1333 MHz SODIMM sticks into the MacBook Pro 15-inch Late 2011?

Align the notch on the module with the key in the slot, press the stick in at an angle until the gold contacts are fully seated, then press down firmly until the side clips click into place.

Do the 1.5 V unbuffered non-ECC modules require any firmware update or periodic replacement in the MacBook Pro 15-inch Late 2011?

No firmware update is needed; the 1.5 V unbuffered non-ECC DDR3 modules are recognised automatically and have no moving parts, so they do not wear out or require scheduled replacement.
