Origin Storage 8GB DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM Laptop Memory Module, 260-pin, Single Rank 1Rx16, Non-ECC, 1.2V

The Origin Storage OM8G43200SO1RX16NE12 is an 8GB DDR4 SO-DIMM laptop memory module rated at 3200MHz, built for business laptops, mini PCs and all-in-ones that take standard DDR4 SO-DIMM modules. It is a single-rank (1Rx16), non-ECC, unbuffered module running at the standard DDR4 voltage of 1.2V.

Origin Storage is a UK memory and storage specialist that supplies fleet upgrades to IT departments. This module is the practical choice when a laptop ships with 8GB and needs to reach 16GB, when a failed module has to be replaced, or when a batch of identical machines needs the same part in quantity.

• 1 x Origin Storage 8GB DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM module (OM8G43200SO1RX16NE12)
• No screws, tools or software are needed — SO-DIMM slots use spring clips

• 8GB + 8GB: add this to a laptop that already has one 8GB DDR4 module and you get 16GB in dual-channel mode, which also improves integrated-graphics performance.
• If your laptop CPU supports a lower DDR4 speed (for example 2666 or 2933MHz), the module simply runs at the speed the platform allows — DDR4 is backward compatible within the generation.
• Single rank, x16 chips: Origin positions 1Rx16 as the cost-efficient configuration for large-scale rollouts. Matching the rank of the module already in the laptop is the safest way to keep dual channel stable.
• Installation takes a few minutes: power off, disconnect the battery if the manual says so, open the base cover, insert at an angle and press down until the clips lock.

• DDR3, DDR5 or LPDDR laptops — the notch and pin layout are different; the module physically will not seat.
• Desktop PCs — they use the longer 288-pin DIMM; see the UDIMM version instead.
• Laptops with memory soldered to the board and no SO-DIMM slot (common in ultrabooks and recent MacBooks).
• Servers or workstations that require ECC or registered (RDIMM) memory.
