Samsung 4GB SO-DIMM 1600 MHz PC3-12800 DDR3 Laptop Memory M471B5173DB0-YK0 (B1)

Description

SAMSUNG 4GB 1Rx8 PC3L-12800S DDR3L 1600MHz 1.35V LAPTOP MEMORY RAM M471B5173DB0-YK0 SO-DIMM

Overview: This is a genuine Samsung 4GB DDR3L SO-DIMM memory module, engineered to boost the performance and multitasking capabilities of compatible laptops and mini PCs. Operating at a brisk 1600MHz, it’s a low-voltage (DDR3L) module, ensuring energy efficiency and cooler operation. It’s an ideal upgrade for systems requiring DDR3L PC3L-12800S memory.

Key Features:

• Manufacturer: Samsung
• Part Number: M471B5173DB0-YK0
• Capacity: 4GB (Gigabytes)
• Memory Type: DDR3L SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory, Low Voltage). This signifies it’s designed for energy efficiency.
   
• Form Factor: 204-pin SO-DIMM (Small Outline Dual In-line Memory Module) – standard for laptops, notebooks, and some compact all-in-one PCs.
   
• Speed: 1600MHz (Megahertz)
• Bus Type/Bandwidth: PC3L-12800S (This indicates a theoretical maximum transfer rate of 12,800 MB/s or 12.8 GB/s). The “L” again confirms its low-voltage nature.
• Voltage: 1.35V (This is its primary operating voltage, which helps reduce power consumption and heat. Crucially, many DDR3L modules are also backward compatible and can operate at 1.5V in systems that require it, though 1.35V is preferred for energy savings.)
   
• Rank: 1Rx8 (Single Rank) – This means the memory chips are organized into one logical bank of data, typically using 8 chips on one side of the module.
   
• CAS Latency (CL): CL11 (This indicates a delay of 11 clock cycles between when data is requested and when it’s available.)
• Error Correction (ECC): Non-ECC (This module does not feature Error-Correcting Code, which is typical for consumer-grade laptop and PC memory.)
   
• Buffering: Unbuffered (Directly communicates with the memory controller.)

Benefits:

• Significant Performance Improvement: Upgrading to 4GB of 1600MHz RAM can lead to noticeable improvements in system responsiveness, faster application loading times, and smoother multitasking, especially for everyday computing and moderate workloads.
• Energy Efficiency: The 1.35V low-voltage design helps prolong battery life in laptops and contributes to a cooler operating environment, which can enhance overall system longevity.
   
• Trusted Quality: As a product from Samsung, a global leader in memory manufacturing, this module offers a high degree of reliability and compatibility.

Compatibility: This RAM module is broadly compatible with most laptops, notebooks, and all-in-one PCs that utilize 204-pin SO-DIMM slots and support DDR3L 1600MHz (PC3L-12800S) memory. It’s critical to verify your device’s specific memory requirements (consult your laptop’s user manual or the manufacturer’s website) to ensure proper compatibility. Look for “DDR3L” or “PC3L” in your system’s memory specifications.

Condition:

• New: Brand-new, unused, unopened, undamaged item in its original packaging (if applicable).
• Pulled OEM / Used – Tested: This RAM module was carefully removed from a working system and has been rigorously tested to ensure 100% functionality. It is in excellent working condition and good cosmetic condition.
• Refurbished: This item has been professionally restored to working order by a third-party seller. It has been inspected, cleaned, and repaired to full working order and is in excellent condition.

Ideal For:

• Memory upgrades for older or current laptops that support DDR3L.
• Replacing a faulty or incompatible RAM module.
• Enhancing performance for general computing, web Browse, office applications, and streaming media.
