Questions about this item

Does the DDR3L PC3L-12800 interface limit real-world speed to 1600MHz CL11?

Yes, the module runs at 1600MHz with CL11 timings at 1.35V, so the JEDEC DDR3L standard caps throughput at that rate.

What physical slot and notch position does the 204-pin SODIMM need?

It requires a standard 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM slot; the single key notch aligns with the socket on ThinkPad W550s, X250 and Yoga 460.

Which way round does the module go in, and where do people hesitate?

Match the notch to the slot key, slide the stick in until the contacts are fully seated, then press down until the side clips snap into the notches.
