8 GB DDR3 SODIMM for laptops and NAS

This single 8 GB module uses 204-pin DDR3 technology at 1600 MHz with CL11 latency and 1.5 V operation. It targets owners of compatible laptops, all-in-one PCs or NAS units needing a straightforward capacity increase.

Sustained throughput at JEDEC speeds

Running at the standard PC3-12800 data rate, the module delivers consistent bandwidth for everyday multitasking and file handling without relying on overclocking headroom. Unbuffered, non-ECC organisation means latency stays predictable during long work sessions.

JEDEC and RoHS compliant build

The stick carries no heat spreader, keeping height low for tight SODIMM slots in thin chassis or dense NAS bays. Gold-edge 204-pin connectors ensure reliable seating, while the 2Rx8 layout follows the industry-standard pinout for broad platform acceptance.
