Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM | 8GB Capacity | 5600MHz Speed | 262-Pin SODIMM
A quick, affordable fix for slow notebooks that stall when too many browser tabs stay open.
Condition: New
Note: price and availability are subject to change without prior notice
The Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB is in stock at Mascom International, priced at KSh 16,500, as a brand new and sealed 262-pin SODIMM module running at 5600MHz on 1.1V. It follows the JEDEC DDR5 standard, so it slots into laptops built with a DDR5 SODIMM socket from HP, Lenovo, Dell, ASUS, Acer and others. Samsung supplies this module as bulk stock in an anti-static pack rather than a retail box. You can collect the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM from our shop at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, and our technicians can fit it while you wait.
Built for university students, accountants, sales teams and NGO field staff across Kenya, the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB answers a common complaint: a newer laptop that shipped with a single 8GB stick and now stalls under Chrome, Microsoft Teams and Excel open together. Adding a second 8GB module takes the machine to 16GB and lets it run in dual-channel mode, where two sticks share the load. A Kenyatta University student writing a thesis with forty research tabs open, or an accountant in Upper Hill filing KRA returns on iTax beside a large spreadsheet, feels the change the same day.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops sell memory without checking the laptop it is going into, Mascom International confirms your model, the slot type and the supported speed before you pay. Customers across Nairobi tell us the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM upgrade costs far less than replacing a laptop that is otherwise in good shape. The Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM also suits buyers who want a known memory brand rather than an unlabelled module from a market stall. Send your laptop model on WhatsApp for a compatibility check, walk into our Kimathi Street store for fitting, or order pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM
How much is the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB in Kenya?
The Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB costs KSh 16,500 brand new and sealed at Mascom International on Kimathi Street, Nairobi. That price covers the 262-pin 5600MHz module in Samsung's anti-static bulk pack, a 6-month warranty against manufacturing defects, and pay-on-arrival delivery to all 47 counties. The 16GB OEM version of the same Samsung module sells for KSh 31,500, which is KSh 15,000 more for twice the capacity. Our staff can also help you fit the module at the store.
Will the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB fit my laptop?
The Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB fits only laptops with a DDR5 SODIMM slot, a 262-pin socket. DDR4 laptops use a 260-pin slot with the notch in a different place, so a DDR5 stick will not go in, and desktop UDIMM slots are longer still. Many thin laptops also have memory soldered to the board with no free slot at all. Business models such as the HP EliteBook 840 G9 do use DDR5 SODIMM slots. Send your exact model to us on WhatsApp and we check before you pay.
Should I add the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB beside my existing stick or replace it?
Adding the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB beside an existing 8GB DDR5 stick is the cheapest route to 16GB. Two matching 8GB sticks run in dual-channel mode, which gives the processor two memory paths instead of one. That helps laptops relying on Intel or AMD integrated graphics, because the graphics share system memory. If your only slot is already taken, replacing that stick with one larger module makes more sense. We can look at your laptop at the store and advise which route suits it.
Is the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB better value than the 16GB OEM module?
The Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB costs KSh 16,500, about KSh 2,060 per gigabyte, while the 16GB OEM module costs KSh 31,500, about KSh 1,970 per gigabyte. Both run at 5600MHz on 1.1V and use the same 262-pin layout. Pick the 8GB if your laptop already has an 8GB stick and a free slot, because pairing them gives 16GB in dual-channel. Pick the 16GB if you have one slot only, or if you plan to reach 32GB later with a second 16GB stick.
Does the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB protect my work during KPLC power cuts?
The Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB, like any memory module, loses its contents the moment power stops, so it cannot protect unsaved work. On a laptop with a healthy battery, a KPLC outage changes nothing: the machine switches to battery and your open files stay in memory. The risk comes when a worn battery lets the laptop shut off. Save often, turn on autosave in Word and Excel, and replace a battery that no longer holds a charge. Extra memory makes the laptop faster, not safer.
Will the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB make my laptop faster for office work?
The Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB brings a clear change when your laptop is running short of memory today. When memory fills up, Windows moves data onto the SSD and everything slows. Signs include tabs reloading when you switch back, Teams calls stuttering while a spreadsheet is open, and long pauses when opening apps. If Task Manager shows memory nearly full during a normal day, more RAM helps. If memory use stays low, the slowness has another cause, such as an ageing drive or a cluttered Windows install.
Who should buy the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB, and who should skip it?
Buy the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB if you own a DDR5 laptop with one 8GB stick and a free slot, and your work is browsing, email, Office and video calls. Skip it if your laptop uses DDR4; the HIKSEMI DDR4 Laptop RAM 8GB at KSh 8,000 suits those machines. Skip it too if you edit 4K video or play recent games, since adding 8GB to 8GB gives only 16GB. A 16GB module, or the Kingston DDR5 Laptop RAM 32GB at KSh 59,000, serves those users better.
Can Mascom International install the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB for me?
Mascom International can fit the Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB at our Kimathi Street store while you wait. Bring the laptop and its charger, and back up important files first, as you would before any hardware work. Our technicians open the base, seat the module, then boot the laptop to confirm Windows sees the new total. Buyers in Mombasa, Kisumu or Eldoret can fit it themselves with a small Phillips screwdriver; touch a metal surface first to discharge static, and hold the module by its edges.
Technical Specifications
Memory Type and Speed
- DDR5 SDRAM, the fifth generation of laptop memory — the type used in many laptops released from 2022 onward.
- 5600MHz rated speed, written 5600MT/s on spec sheets — the number of data transfers per second; higher numbers feed the processor faster.
- Backward speed support — in a laptop rated for 4800MHz or 5200MHz, the module runs at the laptop's lower speed without any setting change.
- 1.1V operating voltage, the JEDEC DDR5 standard — lower than DDR4's 1.2V, which means less heat inside a thin laptop body.
- On-die ECC, part of every DDR5 chip — the memory corrects small internal bit errors on its own, helping stability over long working days.
Capacity and Multitasking
- 8GB capacity — enough on its own for Windows 11, a browser and Office; best used to pair with an existing 8GB stick.
- 8GB plus 8GB gives 16GB total — room for a full browser session, Teams and a large Excel workbook open together without reloading.
- Dual-channel pairing — two matched sticks give the processor two memory paths, which helps laptops using integrated Intel Iris Xe or AMD Radeon graphics.
- Less swapping to the SSD — when RAM runs short, Windows borrows SSD space, which is far slower; more RAM keeps work in fast memory.
- Single module — one stick occupies one slot, so a two-slot laptop with one empty slot reaches 16GB in a short fitting.
Compatibility
- Fits DDR5 SODIMM slots only — the 262-pin connector and notch position match DDR5 laptop sockets and nothing else.
- Not compatible with DDR4 laptops — DDR4 uses a 260-pin slot with the notch in a different place, so the module will not seat.
- Not for desktops — desktop PCs use longer 288-pin UDIMM sticks; this SODIMM suits laptops and many compact mini PCs only.
- Check for soldered memory — many thin laptops have RAM fixed to the motherboard with no free slot; we confirm this before you buy.
- Works in HP, Lenovo, Dell, ASUS, Acer and MSI laptops with a DDR5 SODIMM socket, including business lines such as the HP EliteBook 840 G9.
Build
- Standard SODIMM size — about 69.6mm long and 30mm tall, the same footprint as every DDR5 laptop module.
- Samsung-made memory chips on a Samsung-labelled module — one company controls both the chips and the finished stick.
- On-module power management chip — DDR5 moves voltage control from the motherboard onto the stick, giving each module steadier power.
- Bare module with no heatsink — it sits flat inside the laptop's slim memory bay, where there is no space for a cooling plate.
- Gold-plated edge contacts — they resist tarnish and keep a clean electrical connection with the laptop's memory socket for years.
Inclusions
- One Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB module — a single stick, not a kit of two.
- Anti-static bulk packaging — the module comes sealed in a protective bag, as Samsung supplies laptop makers, with no retail box.
- No screws, tools or software needed for the module itself — the laptop's slot clips hold it firmly in place.
- Samsung product label on the module — carries the part number and capacity, so you can confirm exactly what you bought.
- 6-month Mascom International warranty covering manufacturing defects — full terms in the Warranty section below.
Package Contents
The Samsung DDR5 Laptop RAM 8GB arrives as one memory module sealed in an anti-static bag, the bulk format Samsung supplies to laptop makers. There is no retail box, manual or installation kit, and none is needed: the module clips into the laptop's slot by hand once the base cover is off. A small Phillips screwdriver opens most laptop bases. If you would rather not open the laptop yourself, our technicians fit the module at the Kimathi Street store.
