8GB DDR3L SODIMM for ThinkPad T550

This 8GB DDR3L module runs at 1600MHz with CL11 timing at 1.35V. It uses a 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor and is built specifically for the Lenovo ThinkPad T550. The unbuffered, non-ECC design fits the laptop's two memory slots.

Upgrade from 4GB or 8GB factory configurations

The ThinkPad T550 supports a maximum of 16GB across its two sockets. Adding this 8GB stick doubles a typical 4GB factory fit or completes the 16GB ceiling when paired with an identical module. The jump is worthwhile when multitasking pushes the original memory into heavy paging.

Fits the T550 two-slot layout without a heat

The low-profile stick leaves clearance for the factory cooling assembly and requires no extra voltage beyond the standard 1.35V DDR3L rail. It frees the second slot for a matching 8GB module to reach the 16GB limit. Buyers who need more than 16GB total capacity cannot use this platform.
