OWC 16GB DDR4 3200MHz SODIMM

This 16GB DDR4 module runs at 3200MHz with CL22 latency and 1.2V operation. It uses a 260-pin SODIMM form factor and is unbuffered non-ECC memory. The 2Rx8 rank configuration is designed for Dell Vostro 14 models 3400, 3420, 3430, 3435 and 3491. Buyers who need ECC error correction or registered DIMMs should look elsewhere.

JEDEC-compliant DDR4 upgrade

The module meets JEDEC standard specifications and is ROHS compliant. It replaces slower or lower-capacity DDR4 SODIMMs in the listed Vostro laptops. The jump is worth it when your current memory limits multitasking or forces frequent paging to storage. Systems already at the maximum supported capacity or speed will not benefit from this addition.

260-pin laptop memory installation

Installation requires a compatible SODIMM slot and DDR4 memory controller in the supported Vostro chassis. The module frees up system responsiveness by adding 16GB of 3200MHz bandwidth. Mixing with modules of different capacity, speed or manufacturer may reduce stability. Buyers without an accessible memory slot or a supported model cannot use this upgrade.
