Crucial 12GB DDR5 5600 MHz SO-DIMM Memory Module

The Crucial CT12G56C46S5 is a 12 GB DDR5 SO-DIMM that delivers a data rate of 5600 MT/s, giving compatible laptops the bandwidth needed for modern workloads and smooth multitasking.

This upgrade is a practical choice for students juggling research tabs, professionals editing media on the go, and gamers who want snappier level loads without replacing the entire system. The extra capacity eases strain on the processor when you run virtual machines, large spreadsheets, or creative applications that rely on fast memory access.

The module follows the 262-pin SO-DIMM layout used in today’s DDR5 notebooks. It uses a single rank and does not include ECC, which keeps it simple to install and broadly compatible with consumer laptops. If the host system only supports lower speeds, the module automatically shifts down to 5200 MT/s or 4800 MT/s, ensuring reliable operation without manual tuning.

Power draw stays at 1.1 V, a figure that helps maintain battery life and reduces heat, so thin-and-light designs stay comfortable on your lap. The board uses a clean black PCB and omits a heat spreader or LEDs, making it an unobtrusive fit inside compact chassis.
