DDR3 1600 SODIMM kit for laptops

This OWC kit provides 8 GB of DDR3 1600 memory in two 4 GB modules. The 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor fits laptops, all-in-one PCs and compatible NAS units. Modules run at 1.5 V with CL11 latency and are unbuffered non-ECC.

Suits owners of DDR3 systems needing a matched pair

Builders upgrading a single laptop or compact desktop gain dual-channel bandwidth from the paired sticks. Systems that require ECC, registered modules or voltages other than 1.5 V cannot use this kit.

204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM interface decides fit

The 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM interface is the sole mechanical and electrical key. If the target device uses a different pin count or memory generation the modules will not install.

Questions about this item

Does the kit include both SODIMMs or do I need to buy a second module separately?

The kit contains two 4 GB modules for a total of 8 GB, so no additional sticks are required.

Should I choose the CL11 1.5 V version or a different latency and voltage?

This kit is specified at CL11 and 1.5 V; select it when your laptop or NAS requires DDR3 1600 at that latency and voltage.

What does the PC3-12800 rating mean once the memory is installed?

It indicates a peak transfer rate of 12 800 MB/s at 1600 MHz, delivering the bandwidth the system expects for DDR3 1600 operation.
