16GB DDR4 SODIMM for Alienware Area-51M R2

This OWC module delivers 16GB of DDR4 memory built specifically for the Alienware Area-51M R2 laptop. It installs as a standard 260-pin SODIMM and operates at 1.2V without ECC or heat spreader. The part number is 3S2D42R816GB and it meets JEDEC and ROHS standards.

DDR4 3200 CL22 260-pin specification

The memory runs at DDR4 3200 speed with a PC4-25600 rating and CL22 latency. It uses a 2Rx8 rank configuration in an unbuffered, non-ECC design. These exact parameters determine whether the module will function correctly in the target system without timing or voltage conflicts.

Suits Alienware Area-51M R2 owners adding capacity

This upgrade fits users who need more memory for multitasking or larger workloads on the named laptop model. It is not for systems that require ECC registered modules, a different pin count, another DDR generation, or a higher speed grade than DDR4 3200.

Questions about this item

What does the 3200MHz rating mean once the module is installed in the Alienware Area-51M R2?

The module runs at DDR4 3200 (PC4-25600) with CL22 latency, delivering the standard JEDEC data rate for that platform.

Which interface standard does the 260-pin SODIMM use and what does it cap in practice?

It uses the DDR4 SO-DIMM interface, limited to the 3200 MT/s JEDEC speed and 1.2 V operation specified for this system.

What physical slot and notch position does this 260-pin module need to fit the Alienware Area-51M R2?

It requires a standard DDR4 260-pin SO-DIMM slot; the key notch matches the DDR4 position so it seats only in compatible sockets.
