DDR3 1066 MHz SODIMM kit for Toshiba Satellite A505

This 8 GB kit contains two 4 GB unbuffered DDR3 SODIMM modules rated at 1066 MHz with CL7 timing. It is built for Toshiba Satellite A505 series laptops including the A505-S6017 and A505-S6020 models. The 204-pin form factor fits the memory slots on these specific systems.

DDR3 1066 MHz speed ceiling and CL7 timing

The DDR3 1066 standard caps transfer rates at PC3-8500 bandwidth, so the modules cannot run faster than this specification. CL7 latency is fixed at 7-7-7 timings and the 1.5 V operating voltage is set by the DDR3 standard. The laptop chipset controls the final memory speed and may downclock the kit if the system bus runs slower.

204-pin SODIMM installation in a laptop chassis

Installation requires opening the memory compartment on the underside of the laptop and inserting each module at an angle until the side clips lock. The 204-pin keying prevents backward insertion, but forcing a module can damage the socket. Buyers who need more than 8 GB or a different memory generation cannot use this kit.

Questions about this item

Should I buy the 8GB kit as two 4GB modules or look for a single 8GB stick for my Toshiba Satellite A505?

The kit ships as two matched 4GB SODIMMs designed to run together in dual-channel mode on the A505 series; a single 8GB module would not provide that benefit.

What does the 1066MHz rating mean once the memory is installed in my laptop?

The modules operate at DDR3-1066 (PC3-8500) with CL7 7-7-7 timings at 1.5V, delivering the rated bandwidth the A505 chipset supports.

Will the 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM interface work in my Satellite A505-S6017 without hitting a speed cap?

Yes — the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor matches the A505 memory slots exactly, and the 1066MHz speed is the native maximum for that platform.
