Kingston KCP548SS6-8 8GB DDR5-4800 SODIMM Laptop Memory Module

The Kingston KCP548SS6-8 is an 8GB DDR5 laptop memory module built for modern notebook systems that need a dependable memory upgrade. Running at 4800MHz with a PC5-38400 data rate, it gives DDR5 laptops the bandwidth they were designed to use, whether you are replacing a single failed module or boosting a system that has started to feel slow with everyday work. The 262-pin SODIMM form factor and low 1.1V operating voltage keep the module sized and powered the way laptop platforms expect, so installation is straightforward and the system runs at its intended speed. For a Kingston memory upgrade at this capacity and speed class, it is a practical choice for students, remote workers, and anyone getting more life out of a DDR5 notebook.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a DDR5 or DDR4 module?

This is a DDR5 module. It runs at 4800MHz with a PC5-38400 data rate and will not fit DDR4 or DDR3 memory slots.

Can this module be used in a desktop computer?

No. It uses the 262-pin SODIMM form factor designed for laptop memory slots, not the larger DIMM slots found in desktop systems.

Can I install this module alongside my existing memory?

Mixing modules works best when the installed memory matches in capacity, speed, ECC type, and rank configuration. Compare the module already in your laptop against these specifications before ordering.

Does this memory need any special setup?

No special configuration is needed beyond standard installation. The module is recognized when the system is powered on, provided the laptop supports non-ECC DDR5-4800 SODIMM memory.

When a DDR5 notebook needs more memory or a failed module needs replacing, the Kingston KCP548SS6-8 covers the essentials: 8GB of capacity, 4800MHz DDR5 speed, a 262-pin SODIMM form factor, and a low 1.1V voltage profile in a non-ECC single rank x16 module. It is a straightforward way to restore or expand a laptop's memory without changing anything else about the system.
