Laptop memory CRUCIAL CB16GS3200 16 GB DDR4 3200 MT/s 260-pin SO-DIMM 1.2V CL22

CRUCIAL CB16GS3200 is a 16 GB DDR4 3200 MT/s SO-DIMM designed for laptop memory upgrades and system performance improvement. This single 260-pin module operates at 1.2 V with CAS latency CL22 and provides additional short-term storage that helps applications load faster and multitask more smoothly. The module is intended for compatible notebooks and mobile workstations that accept 260-pin DDR4 SO-DIMM memory.

Advantages

The module increases available system memory and data access speed, reducing application load times and improving responsiveness when running multiple programs. Its 3200 MT/s data rate and 1.2 V operation balance performance with energy efficiency typical of modern DDR4 laptop memory. The single-module format simplifies upgrades where an additional SO-DIMM slot is available.

Suitable for

• Upgrading memory in compatible laptops and mobile workstations
• Improving multitasking and running multiple applications simultaneously
• Enhancing performance for web browsing, office applications and light content editing
• Replacing or expanding existing DDR4 SO-DIMM modules

Key specifications

• Capacity: 16 GB
• Memory type: DDR4
• Data rate: 3200 MT/s
• Form factor: 260-pin SO-DIMM
• Operating voltage: 1.2 V
• CAS latency: CL22

How to use

Power off the laptop and disconnect any power sources, including the battery if removable. Open the access panel according to the device manufacturer’s instructions to reach the memory slots. Align the module with the slot notch, insert at a slight angle and press down until the retaining clips engage. Reassemble the device and power it on; the system BIOS/UEFI or operating system should recognize the new memory automatically. Consult your laptop manual for slot population rules and maximum supported memory per slot.

Recommendations

To ensure compatibility, verify your laptop supports DDR4 260-pin SO-DIMM modules and the maximum supported memory per slot before purchase. For optimal multitasking performance, install matching capacity and speed modules in pairs when the system supports dual-channel operation. Handle the module by its edges and observe anti-static precautions during installation.
