This Samsung DDR4-2400 SO-DIMM is a non-ECC unbuffered notebook memory module, ideally suited for upgrading ultrabooks, thin-and-light laptops, and mobile workstations that need reliable, plug-and-play capacity expansion. Its single-rank x8 organization and CL17 latency deliver a balanced combination of low power consumption and responsive performance, ensuring stable operation across a wide range of OEM systems without manual tuning.
1. An 8 GB capacity comfortably accommodates modern browsers, office suites, and video conferencing apps, preventing slowdowns caused by exhausting system memory on compact notebooks.
2. DDR4 technology brings inherently lower operating voltage, directly curbing battery consumption and fan activity during long work-from-anywhere sessions.
3. A 2400 MT/s data rate delivers snappy application loads and smooth HD media playback, matching the sweet spot between daily performance and mobile power budgets.
4. CL17 latency provides responsive keystrokes and menu draws, contributing to a perceptibly fluid interface without driving up power draw beyond energy-conscious designs.
5. Single Rank x8 implementation reduces electrical loading on the CPU memory controller, aiding cooler, more stable operation and maximizing precious battery reserves in ultraportable laptops.
The M471A1K43CB1-CRC is an 8GB DDR4 SODIMM purpose-built for notebooks, where efficiency and compact design directly shape user experience. Its 1.2V low-voltage operation prolongs battery life for mobile workstations handling CAD or photo editing on long-haul flights—keeping you productive without scrambling for a power outlet. The 260-pin compact form factor ensures a hassle-free drop-in fit into ultrabooks, transforming a memory upgrade into a simple five-minute task even for those with minimal technical skill. With a swift 2400 MT/s data rate and CL17 latency, multitasking across dozens of browser tabs, video calls, and Office apps becomes noticeably snappier, eliminating the lag that kills workflow momentum. The unbuffered, non-ECC, single-rank x8 design reduces power draw and thermal output, which is vital within the limited cooling headroom of thin-and-light laptops. Whether a student boosts a budget notebook for academic research or a professional refreshes an aging mobile workstation for constant data analysis, this module delivers a fluid, responsive experience while preserving hard-won battery runtime.
Laptop Upgrade
For an existing single 8GB SoDIMM, adding an identical second 8GB module enables dual-channel mode, doubling bandwidth and improving integrated graphics performance. Verify your laptop supports DDR4-2400 and has an available slot; a matching 8GB DDR4-2400 CL17 Single Rank x8 SoDIMM is the safest route. This 16GB dual-channel kit provides a responsive, cost-effective uplift for multitasking and moderate content work.
Mobile Workstation
Replace both factory modules with a 32GB or 64GB kit (2x16GB or 2x32GB DDR4-2400 SoDIMMs) to satisfy demanding CAD, 3D rendering, and VM workloads. Insist on matched pairs to guarantee dual-channel operation and stability under sustained load. While 2400 MT/s is baseline, capacity is the primary constraint for mobile workstations; a 64GB configuration prevents swap thrashing during large model manipulation.
Ultrabook Power Saving
In thin-and-light designs where battery runtime is critical, a single 8GB module minimizes power draw by keeping the secondary channel in a low-power state. If 16GB is needed, select low-voltage 1.2V DDR4-2400 SoDIMMs and confirm the firmware supports aggressive power-down modes. A single-rank x8 module like the Samsung M471A1K43CB1-CRC already offers a good balance of density and idle efficiency for ultralight notebooks.
Engineered for laptops, this rigorously tested DDR4 2400 SODIMM guarantees compatibility with Lenovo ThinkPad T480, Dell Latitude 7490, and HP EliteBook 840 G5.
Q: Can I mix this M471A1K43CB1-CRC with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing is not recommended. Mismatched brands or speeds may force the system to the lowest common speed or cause instability. For reliable dual-channel operation, install identical modules with matching capacity, rank, and CAS latency.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my system?
A: This is a DDR4 260-pin SoDIMM for laptops and mini PCs. It requires a system with a DDR4 SoDIMM slot and support for 8GB non-ECC unbuffered modules. Please verify your notebook model or chipset supports DDR4-2400.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: For dual-channel capable laptops, populate both SoDIMM slots with identical modules. If only one module is installed, place it in the primary slot (usually slot 0). Our single-rank x8 design ensures stable performance in any available slot.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No, this module adheres to JEDEC DDR4-2400 standards and does not include an XMP profile. It runs at the native 2400 MT/s speed with CL17 timings, ensuring broad compatibility without overclocking.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This Samsung module comes with a 1-year warranty. Annualized failure rate (AFR) is typically below 0.5% under normal operating conditions, ensuring high reliability for laptop workloads.
