Compatible ThinkPad T520 memory kit

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3 SODIMM modules rated at 1333 MHz with CL9 timings. It is built for the Lenovo ThinkPad T520 models 4239, 4240, 4241, 4242 and 4243 and uses the 204-pin form factor at 1.5 V.

Suitable for T520 owners needing the maximum 16 GB

The kit matches the two-slot layout and the 1333 MHz speed specified for these ThinkPads. Buyers whose laptop requires ECC or registered memory, or who need a higher speed than 1333 MHz, should look at a different module.

Deciding specification: 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM

Only systems that accept unbuffered, non-ECC DDR3 SODIMMs running at 1333 MHz can use this memory. Verify that your ThinkPad T520 model number appears in the supported list before ordering.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 16GB kit or a single 8GB module for my ThinkPad T520?

The T520 has two memory sockets and supports up to 8GB per socket, so the 16GB kit with two 8GB modules fills both slots and reaches the maximum capacity.

What does the 1333MHz speed mean once the memory is installed in the T520?

The DDR3 1333MHz (PC3-10600) modules run at 1333MHz with CL9 timing and 1.5V voltage, delivering the rated bandwidth for the T520 memory controller.

Does the 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM interface limit performance in the T520?

The 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM form factor matches the T520 slots exactly; the interface caps transfer rate at the DDR3 1333MHz specification of these modules.
