Product and purpose

The Patriot Signature PSD38G16002S is an 8GB DDR3 SO-DIMM module built for laptop upgrades. It runs at 1600MHz with CL11 latency and operates at the standard 1.50V voltage. The 204-pin form factor fits compatible DDR3 slots directly.

Who this suits and who it does not

This module suits owners of DDR3-based laptops needing a single 8GB stick to boost multitasking capacity. It is not for systems that require a different memory generation, a different pin layout, or ECC and registered functionality. Buyers needing multiple modules to reach a specific total capacity should verify their slot count first.

The deciding specification

The 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM interface is the single specification that determines compatibility. Only laptops designed for DDR3 memory with this exact pin configuration will accept the module. Confirm the memory generation and slot type before purchase.

Questions about this item

What does the 1600 MHz speed mean for everyday laptop use?

The module runs at PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) with CL11 latency, giving faster data transfer than slower DDR3 for smoother multitasking and quicker program switching.

Does the 204-pin SO-DIMM fit any DDR3 laptop slot?

Yes, it uses the standard 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM form factor and 1.50 V operation, matching the electrical and physical spec for compatible laptop memory slots.

Will this 8 GB stick fit in a standard laptop memory bay?

It is a standard-height 204-pin SO-DIMM, so it fits the usual SODIMM slot and retention clips found in most DDR3 laptops.
