Ready for MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB DDR3 SO-DIMM modules rated at 1333 MHz with CL7 timings. It is built specifically for the Apple MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.3 13" Early 2011 (model identifiers MC700LL/A, MacBookPro8,1, A1278). The unbuffered, non-ECC sticks run at 1.5 V and use a 204-pin interface.

Matched pair simplifies installation

The two modules are packaged together so both channels can be populated at once, delivering the full 8 GB capacity without mixing different revisions. CMS guarantees compatibility with the listed MacBook Pro models and backs the kit with a limited lifetime warranty when purchased directly from the manufacturer. Product appearance may vary from the reference image.

Check your model and slot count

Verify that your MacBook Pro is the Early 2011 13-inch version with a 2.3 GHz Core i5 processor before ordering. Apple officially supports up to 16 GB in this system, while the hardware maximum is 32 GB across four sockets. This kit provides 8 GB in a dual-stick configuration, so confirm you have free SO-DIMM slots for both modules.

Questions about this item

Will the 204-pin DDR3 modules need any future replacement or maintenance?

The kit is sold new and carries a lifetime warranty from the manufacturer; no scheduled maintenance or replacement is required under normal use.

What limit appears first when the MacBook Pro 13" Early 2011 runs sustained workloads with this 1333 MHz CL7 memory?

The system officially supports up to 16 GB, so the 8 GB capacity of this kit is the first ceiling you will reach.

How much heat or power do the 1.5 V unbuffered SODIMMs add during all-day operation?

Each module runs at standard 1.5 V DDR3 voltage with no heat spreader, so thermal and power impact matches the original specification.
