This 8 GB DDR3L 1600 SODIMM is built for the Alienware 17 R2 laptop. It uses a 204-pin form factor and runs at 1.35 V. The module is unbuffered, non-ECC, and organised as 2Rx8 with CL11 latency.

Suits owners of the Alienware 17 R2 adding

Buyers who need ECC or registered memory cannot use this module. Systems that require a different pin count, voltage, or DDR generation are not compatible. Laptops with soldered memory or no free slot also cannot accept it.

204-pin DDR3L SODIMM interface

The 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM interface is the single specification that decides fitment. Only platforms designed for this exact pin count, voltage, and signalling will accept the module.
