MacBook Pro 13.3" DDR3L Upgrade

This 16GB kit contains two 8GB SO-DIMM modules built for the Apple MacBook Pro 13.3" 2.5GHz Intel Core i5 MD101LL/A. It targets owners of that specific notebook who want the maximum memory the system accepts. The sticks run at DDR3L 1600 with CL11 timings and 1.35V operation.

204-Pin SO-DIMM Installation

Each module uses the standard 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor and is unbuffered, non-ECC, dual-rank 2Rx8. The kit fits directly into the two memory slots of the compatible MacBook Pro without adapters or configuration changes. Major-brand DRAM chips are used under the Computer Memory Solutions label.

16GB Capacity Limit

The paired 8GB sticks provide 16GB total, which matches the supplier-stated maximum for this MacBook Pro model. The DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) speed rating delivers the bandwidth the platform expects. Systems requiring ECC, registered modules, higher voltage DDR3, or capacities beyond 16GB cannot use this kit.

Questions about this item

Will the CL11 latency limit throughput during sustained workloads?

The modules run at CL11 with 11-11-11 timing at 1600 MHz, which is the rated latency for this DDR3L kit.

How much heat or power draw should I expect from the 1.35 V sticks running all day?

At 1.35 V the DDR3L SO-DIMMs draw less power and run cooler than standard 1.5 V DDR3, and they have no heat spreader.

My MacBook Pro 13.3" 2.5 GHz Core i5 MD101LL/A has two slots — is that all I need?

Yes, the kit provides two 8 GB 204-pin SO-DIMMs to fill both slots in that model.
