Kingston KVR56S46BD8-48
48GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM for compatible notebook and small-form-factor systems
By The Nate Meyer ยท Published
The Kingston KVR56S46BD8-48 is a 48GB DDR5-5600 memory module for compatible notebooks, mobile workstations, compact computers, and other systems using DDR5 SO-DIMMs. It uses a 262-pin small outline DIMM form factor and operates at 5600MT/s with a CAS latency of CL46. The module is non-ECC and unbuffered, making it suitable for standard client computing platforms rather than registered server memory architectures. It operates at 1.1V and uses a 1Rx8 single-rank memory layout. System support depends on the host platform's maximum memory capacity, supported module density, firmware, and memory speed configuration. Install it only in systems designed for DDR5 SO-DIMM modules.

Provides 48GB of DDR5-5600 memory in a 262-pin SO-DIMM form factor.
Uses non-ECC, unbuffered DDR5 memory at 1.1V and CL46 timing.
Host systems must support 48GB DDR5 SO-DIMMs and the required module density.
Which systems support the Kingston KVR56S46BD8-48?
It is intended for systems with 262-pin DDR5 SO-DIMM slots that support 48GB modules. Confirm the system's maximum memory capacity, module density support, and qualified memory list before installation.
Can this module be installed in a DDR4 system?
No. DDR5 SO-DIMMs are electrically and mechanically different from DDR4 SO-DIMMs and are not interchangeable.
Does the module support ECC memory correction?
No. The KVR56S46BD8-48 is a non-ECC, unbuffered memory module for standard client platforms.
Will the module always operate at 5600MT/s?
The host system and processor must support DDR5-5600 operation. Otherwise, the module operates at a lower speed selected by the system firmware.
Can this module be mixed with other memory modules?
Mixing may work when the modules have compatible DDR5 specifications, but the system generally selects common speed and timing settings. For best results, use matched modules approved for the host platform.
Are additional drivers required?
No memory driver is required. The system firmware detects the module, while operating system memory availability depends on platform support and configuration.
