8GB DDR3L SODIMM for ThinkPad

This single 8GB module upgrades compatible Lenovo ThinkPad laptops with DDR3L 1600 memory. It uses a 204-pin SO-DIMM form factor and operates at 1.35V with CL11 latency. The module is unbuffered, non-ECC and built to JEDEC standards for reliable operation.

Suits owners of listed ThinkPad models needing

Buyers whose laptops require a different memory generation, voltage or pin count should look elsewhere. Systems limited to a maximum of 8GB total capacity will not benefit from adding a second module. Users needing ECC error correction or registered memory must choose a different product.

1.35V DDR3L voltage requirement

This module only works in slots designed for DDR3L 1.35V operation. Installing it in a 1.5V DDR3-only system may cause instability or prevent booting. Verify your laptop specifies PC3L-12800 or DDR3L 1600 at 1.35V before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the single 8 GB module or combine two for 16 GB?

The listing supplies one 8 GB DDR3L 1600 SODIMM. If your ThinkPad has two slots and supports 16 GB total, adding a second identical module will double capacity and enable dual-channel operation.

What does the 1600 MHz rating deliver inside a ThinkPad T560 or X250?

The module runs at DDR3L 1600 (PC3L-12800) with CL11 latency at 1.35 V. In supported ThinkPads it provides the rated bandwidth and low-voltage operation without down-clocking.

Will the 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM fit the memory slot in a W540 or W541?

Yes. The 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM form factor matches the slots in ThinkPad T560, W540, W541 and X250, and the 1.35 V spec is exactly what those platforms require.
