Targeted MacBook Pro upgrade

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3 SO-DIMM modules rated at 1333 MHz with CL9 timing. It is built for the Apple MacBook Pro 13-inch Early 2011 model with a 2.7 GHz Core i7 processor. The unbuffered, non-ECC design matches the original specification for straightforward installation. Buyers needing more than 16 GB or a different DDR generation cannot use this kit.

204-pin SO-DIMM form factor

Each stick uses the standard 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM layout and runs at 1.5 V without a heat spreader. The low-profile design fits the tight space inside the 13-inch chassis and requires no extra clearance. Systems that demand registered or ECC memory, or that use a different pin count, are not compatible with these modules.

Low-voltage DDR3 operation

The 1.5 V rating keeps power draw modest and heat output low in the compact MacBook Pro enclosure. With no heat spreader or active cooling on the modules, they rely on the notebook’s existing airflow. Workloads that push sustained maximum bandwidth may raise temperatures, but typical use stays within the system’s thermal envelope.

Questions about this item

What DDR3 speed does this 204-pin SO-DIMM kit run at?

The kit operates at DDR3 1333 MHz, also labelled PC3-10600, with CL9 9-9-9 timings at 1.5 V.

Will the two 8 GB sticks fit the Early 2011 13-inch MacBook Pro?

Yes, the 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor matches the MacBookPro8,1 (A1278, MC724LL/A) which has four slots supporting up to 32 GB total.

How do I install the modules and what step is often missed?

Power off, remove the bottom case, release the side clips on each slot, insert each stick at an angle until the gold contacts disappear, then press down firmly until both clips click — the click is the step people skip.
