OWC 4GB DDR3 SODIMM for ThinkPad

This 4GB DDR3 module runs at 1600MHz with CL11 timing and 1.5V operation. It uses a 204-pin SODIMM form factor and 2Rx8 rank organisation. The memory is non-ECC and unbuffered, built to JEDEC and RoHS standards. It is validated for Lenovo ThinkPad L430, T430u, X131e and X131e Chromebook models.

Upgrade for supported ThinkPad notebooks

Owners of the listed ThinkPad models can install this module to increase memory capacity. The single 4GB stick fits the standard SODIMM slot in each system. Buyers who need ECC functionality or registered memory should look elsewhere, as this module provides neither. Systems requiring a different voltage or pin count are also not supported.

1.5V DDR3 voltage decides fit

The module operates at 1.5V, matching the DDR3 specification used by the compatible ThinkPad platforms. A system that requires a different voltage will not work with this part. Confirm the laptop's memory voltage requirement before purchase.
