Module identity

This is a 16 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM built for notebooks, running at 5600 MT/s with CL46 latency at 1.10 V. The 262-pin unbuffered design follows the PC5-44800 standard and uses a single-rank 1Rx8 organisation. Non-ECC operation keeps it simple for mainstream mobile platforms.

Fit and limits

It suits laptops that accept DDR5 SO-DIMMs at the rated speed and voltage. Systems limited to older memory generations, desktops requiring full-size DIMMs, or workloads needing ECC protection should look elsewhere. Buyers who want more capacity per slot or lower latency timings will need a different module.

Deciding spec

The 5600 MT/s DDR5 rating is the single figure that decides compatibility; the notebook’s memory controller must support this data rate for the module to run as specified.

Questions about this item

What comes in the box and do I need to buy any brackets or adapters for a laptop?

The box contains one 16GB 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM module. No brackets or adapters are required for a standard laptop memory slot.

Should I choose a different capacity or speed version of this module?

This specific model is a single 16GB module rated at 5600 MT/s with CL46 latency. Other capacities or speeds would be different part numbers.

What does the 5600 MT/s rating mean once the module is installed in my laptop?

The module will operate at up to 5600 MT/s if the laptop's memory controller supports that speed; otherwise it will run at the highest speed the system allows.
