Memory Module Micron DDR5 16GB 5600MHz SO DIMM 262-pin

The Crucial Micron DDR5 16GB 5600MHz SO DIMM is a laptop memory module designed to deliver higher bandwidth and improved power efficiency for modern portable systems. With a 262-pin SO DIMM form factor, 16GB capacity and 5600MHz data rate, this DDR5 module supports ECC functionality for enhanced data integrity. The module uses CL46 latency timing to balance responsiveness with high clock speed, and its design targets users who need reliable memory for multitasking, content creation and compute-intensive applications.

Advantages

This memory module provides increased throughput compared with previous-generation laptop RAM, enabling faster data transfers and smoother application performance. ECC support helps detect and correct single-bit errors, improving system reliability in workloads that benefit from error resilience. The SO DIMM 262-pin form factor ensures compatibility with a wide range of laptops and small form-factor systems that accept DDR5 memory. Lower operating voltages and architecture improvements typical of DDR5 contribute to better energy efficiency under load.

Suitable for

• Upgrading laptop memory for multitasking and productivity
• Portable workstations used for photo and video editing
• Systems running virtual machines or memory-intensive applications
• Environments where improved data integrity is required

Key specifications

• Memory type: DDR5 SO-DIMM
• Capacity: 16 GB
• Operating frequency: 5600 MHz
• CAS latency: CL46

How to use

Power off the laptop and disconnect it from mains power. Open the memory compartment or remove the back cover according to the device manufacturer's service instructions. Ground yourself to avoid electrostatic discharge, then locate the existing SO-DIMM slot compatible with DDR5 modules. Align the notch on the module with the slot and insert at the correct angle, pressing down until the retention clips engage. Replace the cover, reconnect power, and verify memory recognition in the system BIOS or operating system memory settings.

Usage recommendations

It is recommended to check the laptop manufacturer's documentation for supported memory specifications and maximum capacity before installation. For optimal performance, install modules in matched pairs when the system supports dual-channel configurations and ensure BIOS/UEFI settings are updated to support DDR5 frequencies and ECC if applicable.
