Overview
The Kingston ValueRAM KVR56S46BS6-8 is an 8GB DDR5 memory module designed for compatible laptops, notebooks, and compact computing systems with 262-pin SO-DIMM slots. Operating at a rated data transfer rate of 5600MT/s, it provides additional memory capacity for systems supporting this DDR5 module specification.
Part of Kingston's ValueRAM series, this unbuffered memory module follows standard DDR5 memory specifications. Its single-module configuration makes it suitable for compatible systems requiring an individual 8GB memory module.
Memory Architecture and Performance
The module uses a single-rank 1Rx16 configuration based on four 1G x 16-bit memory components. Its programmed JEDEC profile specifies DDR5-5600 operation with CL46-45-45 timings at 1.1V.
The DDR5 architecture incorporates on-die error correction, which helps manage errors within the memory devices themselves. This feature does not make the module a system-level ECC memory solution.
Compatibility
The KVR56S46BS6-8 is designed for systems that support DDR5 SO-DIMM memory. Before purchasing, confirm that the host system supports the module's capacity, memory generation, and physical form factor.
- Memory generation: DDR5; not compatible with DDR4 or DDR3 slots.
- Form factor: 262-pin SO-DIMM for compatible laptops and compact computers.
- Module type: Unbuffered, non-ECC system memory.
- Capacity: 8GB per module.
- Operating speed: Actual speed depends on processor, motherboard, and firmware support.
Key Features
- 8GB memory capacity: Provides additional system memory for compatible computers.
- DDR5-5600 data rate: Supports a rated transfer rate of 5600MT/s.
- 262-pin SO-DIMM format: Designed for compatible notebook and compact-computer memory slots.
- Single-rank 1Rx16 design: Uses a single-rank memory organization with x16 components.
- 1.1V operating voltage: Follows the specified JEDEC DDR5-5600 operating profile.
Applications
This memory module can be used for compatible laptop upgrades, compact computing systems, office computers, and general-purpose computing environments. Whether an 8GB module meets a particular workload's requirements depends on the applications being used and the total memory supported by the system.
DC Supplies Product Note
Verify the memory slot type before ordering. DDR5 SO-DIMM modules are physically different from full-size desktop DDR5 UDIMMs. Also, on-die ECC is part of the DDR5 memory architecture and should not be confused with full system-level ECC support. Check the computer manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is the Kingston KVR56S46BS6-8 compatible with every DDR5 laptop?
No. The laptop must support DDR5 SO-DIMM memory and the module's 8GB capacity. Check the manufacturer's memory specifications for supported module types and configurations.
2. Can this module be installed in a standard desktop motherboard?
This module uses the smaller SO-DIMM form factor commonly found in laptops and compact computers. Standard desktop motherboards generally use full-size UDIMM modules, which are physically different.
3. Does this memory provide system-level ECC?
No. Kingston identifies this module as non-ECC system memory. Its on-die ECC functionality is part of the DDR5 memory architecture and does not replace system-level ECC support.
4. Will the module always operate at 5600MT/s?
Not necessarily. The rated data transfer rate depends on the capabilities of the processor, motherboard, and system firmware. A compatible computer may operate the memory at a lower supported speed.
5. Can this module be combined with existing RAM?
Potentially, if the computer supports the combined capacity and the existing memory configuration. Check the system manufacturer's upgrade documentation before mixing modules with different capacities or specifications.
