This 16GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM is purpose-built for notebook and mobile workstation upgrades, delivering a plug-and-play boost to multitasking and responsiveness. The dual-rank x8 configuration enables memory interleaving for greater effective bandwidth, while the unbuffered design and CL17 latency keep power consumption low and compatibility broad across thermally constrained portable platforms.
1. The SoDIMM form factor guarantees a tool-free, drop-in upgrade for ultrabooks and compact notebooks, minimizing downtime during memory replacement.
2. A 16GB capacity allows your laptop to juggle large office files, multiple video conferences, and numerous browser tabs simultaneously without swapping to sluggish storage.
3. The 2400 MT/s speed hits a sweet spot between responsive application launches and extended battery runtime, ideal for all-day productivity away from the outlet.
4. CL17 latency accelerates command execution, so everyday actions like opening apps and switching desktops feel instant, even on a mid-range mobile platform.
5. Dual Rank x8 organization interleaves memory accesses to boost integrated graphics throughput, delivering smoother 4K video streaming and casual gaming without a discrete GPU.
Samsung’s M474A2K43BB1-CRCQ0 16GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM is engineered to directly resolve the most pressing pain points for notebook users, from mobile workstations to everyday ultrabooks. The generous 16 GB capacity means you can run memory-hungry virtual machines alongside large creative projects without the system grinding to a halt when your storage takes over. Operating at a true DDR4-2400 speed with CL17 latency and a low 1.2 V, it delivers responsive multitasking and extended battery life—critical when you are finalizing renders on an international flight. The unbuffered 260-pin SODIMM form factor guarantees a hassle-free drop-in upgrade into sleek laptops, eliminating compatibility struggles. Beneath the surface, its Dual Rank x8 architecture interleaves memory cells to increase effective bandwidth, so tasks like 4K video export and live financial modeling feel perceptibly faster, turning buffer times into productive moments. Every specification works in concert to keep you unplugged longer, working smoother, and free from frustrating bottlenecks.
Laptop Upgrade
With 16 GB per module, a single SO-DIMM is an ideal drop-in replacement to double capacity for most mainstream notebooks. If the system supports dual-channel, adding a second identical M474A2K43BB1-CRCQ0 delivers 32 GB and noticeably smoother multitasking.
Mobile Workstation
Populate both slots with two 16 GB dual-rank x8 modules for a total of 32 GB, meeting the demands of CAD, 3D rendering, and large dataset analysis. The unbuffered DDR4-2400 specification ensures compatibility across a broad range of professional laptops, while dual-channel operation improves memory bandwidth for sustained compute workloads.
Ultrabook Power Saving
A single 16 GB SO-DIMM reduces power draw compared to a two-module kit, extending battery life during everyday productivity. This 1.2 V DDR4 module already operates at low voltage, and avoiding a second rank when idle helps ultrabooks maintain their thermal and energy efficiency targets without sacrificing sufficient capacity for modern office applications.
Rigorously validated for flawless performance in Dell Latitude, Lenovo ThinkPad, and HP EliteBook notebooks.
Q: Can I mix this M474A2K43BB1-CRCQ0 with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing is not recommended. Mismatched modules may force all memory to run at the lowest common speed or cause system instability. For reliable dual-channel operation, we strongly advise using identical modules with the same capacity, rank, and JEDEC profile.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my system?
A: This 260-pin DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM is designed for notebooks and small-form-factor systems supporting DDR4 memory. It is typically compatible with Intel 6th/7th Gen (Skylake/Kaby Lake) and later platforms. Please verify your device’s specific DDR4 generation and SO-DIMM support.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: In systems with two SO-DIMM slots, install a single module in either slot. For best performance, populate both slots with identical matched modules to enable dual-channel interleaving. Many notebooks will automatically configure dual channel when equal-capacity modules are detected.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. This module strictly adheres to the JEDEC DDR4-2400 standard (PC4-19200) without XMP or overclocking support. Most notebook BIOS firmware locks memory to JEDEC timings, so overclocking or timing adjustments are not possible.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This product includes a one-year warranty. DDR4 SO-DIMMs demonstrate very low annual failure rates, typically under 0.5% during their service life, ensuring dependable long-term performance in properly maintained operating environments.
