Apple-compatible DDR3 SO-DIMM kit

This Timetec kit supplies 16 GB of DDR3 laptop memory as two 8 GB modules. Each stick is a 204-pin SO-DIMM rated at 1066 MHz (PC3-8500) with CL7 latency and 1.5 V operation. The modules use Hynix ICs and are built for Apple systems that accept unbuffered, non-ECC DDR3 memory.

Suits MacBook, MacBook Pro.

Owners of the listed Apple computers can install this kit to reach 16 GB total capacity. The dual-rank 2Rx8 design matches the original specification for those machines. Builders working on non-Apple laptops or on Apple models outside the 2009–2010 range should verify DDR3 SO-DIMM support before purchasing.

1066 MHz CL7 at 1.5 V

The decisive specification is the 1066 MHz speed with CL7 timing at 1.5 V. Systems that require a different DDR3 speed grade, a lower voltage or a higher CAS latency will not run this memory at its rated settings. Match these three values to the host machine’s requirements to ensure compatibility.

Questions about this item

How do I install the 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM modules in my MacBook Pro 13'' Mid 2010, and what step is often missed?

Remove the bottom case, eject the old modules by spreading the side clips, insert each 8GB stick at an angle until the gold contacts are nearly hidden, then press down firmly until both clips click — the step most people miss is pressing hard enough to engage both clips.

What maintenance or replacement will the 16GB kit need over its lifetime?

No scheduled maintenance is required; the unbuffered non-ECC modules have no batteries or moving parts, so replacement only occurs if a module fails or you upgrade to a system that needs faster memory.

What limit appears first when the CL7 1066MHz memory runs under sustained heavy load?

The DDR3 1066MHz bandwidth ceiling is reached before latency or voltage becomes a bottleneck, capping sustained throughput at the PC3-8500 rate.
