OWC 16GB DDR5 5200 CL42 262-pin SODIMM laptop RAM

16 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM for laptops and NAS

This module delivers 16 GB of DDR5 memory in a 262-pin SO-DIMM form factor. It targets users upgrading select laptops, all-in-one PCs or compatible NAS systems. The single-rank 1Rx8 design operates at the JEDEC-standard 1.1 V without ECC or buffering.

Sustained operation at 5200 MT/s with CL42

Running at the rated PC5-41600 speed, the module maintains its CL42 latency during extended workloads rather than only in brief bursts. The 1.1 V operating voltage keeps power draw steady under continuous multitasking or large-file handling. JEDEC compliance ensures stable timing without relying on overclocking headroom.

Limited by the DDR5 SO-DIMM interface

The 262-pin connector and DDR5 signalling define the maximum bandwidth and latency floor for this upgrade. Systems that only support earlier DDR generations cannot accept the module physically or electrically. Capacity is fixed at 16 GB per slot, so total memory depends on the number of sockets the host provides.
