FAQ
What is the capacity and configuration of this memory module?
This is a single 8GB DDR3 memory module configured as 1 x 8GB. The 8GB capacity provides substantial working memory for notebook systems, allowing for smoother multitasking and better performance with memory-intensive applications. The single-module configuration simplifies installation and compatibility verification.
What type of memory technology does this module use?
This module uses DDR3 SDRAM technology operating at 1600 MHz, which corresponds to the DDR3-1600/PC3-12800 standard. DDR3 represents the third generation of double data rate synchronous dynamic random-access memory, offering improved performance and power efficiency compared to earlier DDR2 technology while maintaining compatibility with systems designed for DDR3 memory.
Is this memory module ECC or non-ECC?
This is a non-ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory module. Non-ECC memory is standard for consumer and most business notebook systems, providing reliable performance without the additional error correction circuitry found in ECC memory. This makes the module compatible with a wide range of notebook platforms that don't require ECC functionality.
What does 'unbuffered dual-rank' mean for this memory?
Unbuffered means the memory module communicates directly with the memory controller without intermediate buffering chips, which reduces latency. Dual-rank indicates the memory chips are organized into two independent sets that can be accessed separately, improving memory efficiency. This combination provides responsive performance suitable for notebook applications where both speed and power efficiency are important.
What devices is this memory module compatible with?
This memory module is designed for notebook systems with compatible DDR3 SODIMM slots. The 204-pin SODIMM form factor, 1.5V operating voltage, and DDR3-1600MHz specifications make it suitable for many notebook models that support these parameters. Always verify your specific system's memory requirements, including maximum supported capacity and speed, before purchasing.
What is the CAS latency and why does it matter?
This memory module has a CAS latency of CL11, which represents the number of clock cycles between a read command and data availability. CL11 is a standard latency for DDR3-1600MHz memory, balancing speed with stability. Lower latency numbers generally mean faster response times, but the actual performance impact depends on the specific memory controller and system configuration.
