Capacity 16GB

  • 16 GB single module doubles laptop memory capacity
  • DDR3 1600 CL11 at 1.5 V matches JEDEC standard specs
  • 204-pin SODIMM fits laptops, all-in-ones and NAS systems
  • Unbuffered non-ECC design installs without extra configuration
  • Tested to meet or exceed OEM requirements for reliable upgrades

Single-module 16 GB DDR3 upgrade

This single 16 GB DDR3 SODIMM targets laptops, all-in-one PCs and NAS units that accept a 204-pin DDR3 1600 module. It suits owners who need the maximum capacity available in one stick rather than a pair of smaller modules.

Tool-free slot insertion

Installation is a typical DIY task: power down, open the memory door, align the notch and press until the clips latch. The only common issue is a slot that still runs at 1.35 V, because this module requires 1.5 V and will not operate at the lower voltage.

Steady throughput at JEDEC speeds

Under sustained load the module runs at its rated DDR3 1600 CL11 timings without throttling, since it has no heat spreader and relies on the system’s existing airflow. It is not for workloads that demand ECC error correction or registered buffering.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the 16GB DDR3 1600 CL11 module is running at its rated speed after installation?

Open your system BIOS or a utility such as CPU-Z and confirm the memory frequency reads 800 MHz (DDR3 1600) with timings of 11-11-11 at 1.5 V.

What comes in the package and do I need any extra parts to install this SODIMM?

The box contains one 16GB 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM; no additional cables, brackets or tools are required for a standard laptop slot.

Should I choose the single 16GB stick or a 2 x 8GB kit for my dual-channel laptop?

If your laptop has two slots, a matched 2 x 8GB kit enables dual-channel bandwidth; if only one slot is free, this single 16GB module gives the full capacity in one step.
