OWC 16GB DDR4 3200MHz CL22 1.2V 260pin SODIMM for Dell Inspiron 15 5508 5509 5510 5515 5518 memory upgrade

Targeted DDR4 SODIMM upgrade

This 16GB DDR4 3200MHz module is built specifically for Dell Inspiron 15 models 5508, 5509, 5510, 5515 and 5518. It delivers a warranty-safe memory increase for owners of those laptops who need more capacity for everyday multitasking. The 260-pin unbuffered Non-ECC stick runs at 1.2V and meets JEDEC PC4-25600 specifications. Installation is a straightforward DIY step for most users.

Replaces slower or smaller factory memory

Swapping the original 8GB or lower-speed DDR4 sticks for this CL22 3200MHz module raises the memory ceiling and bandwidth in one step. The jump is worthwhile when the system feels sluggish with many browser tabs, office apps or light creative workloads open at once. It will not help if the laptop already has two populated slots and no free socket, or if the chassis cannot be opened for memory access. Buyers who need more than 16GB per slot should look elsewhere.

Fits the qualified Inspiron 15 chassis

The SODIMM slots into the existing memory bay without adapters, cables or BIOS changes on the listed models. It frees the CPU from constant paging by giving the OS more high-speed workspace for open files and background tasks. The module has no heat spreader, so it sits flush in thin ultrabook sockets. Ensure the laptop uses DDR4 SO-DIMM slots and that a slot is vacant before purchase.
