Compatibility with Early 2011 MacBook Pro 15

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB DDR3 SO-DIMM modules built for the Apple MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.0 15" Early 2011. The modules use a 204-pin interface and operate at 1333MHz with CL9 timing. They are unbuffered, non-ECC and run at 1.5V.

Suitable for full upgrades only

Owners of the MC721LL/A or MacBookPro8,2 with two occupied slots can reach the 16GB maximum by replacing both modules. Buyers who need more than 16GB or who have a different Mac model should look elsewhere because the system only supports two sockets and this speed grade.

Steady operation at rated speed

The kit runs at the specified 1333MHz PC3-10600 data rate with 9-9-9 timings under continuous load. Major-brand chips and 2Rx8 organisation provide stable throughput for long sessions without downclocking. No heat spreader is fitted, so airflow in the MacBook chassis handles cooling.

Questions about this item

What must the MacBook Pro already have for this 2x8GB kit to reach 16GB total?

Two empty 204-pin SO-DIMM slots; the Early 2011 15" model ships with both slots filled, so the original modules must be removed first.

Will these DDR3 1333MHz sticks work in the Early 2011 15" MacBook Pro that originally used slower memory?

The kit is listed as compatible with the MacBook Pro "Core i7" 2.0 15" Early 2011 (MacBookPro8,2 / A1286) and will run at the system's supported speed.

How can I confirm the Mac recognises the full 16GB after installing both 8GB modules?

Open About This Mac or System Report; total memory should show 16GB with two 8GB DDR3 1333MHz SO-DIMMs listed in the memory slot details.
