Crucial 32GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM — Maximum-Capacity Single-Module Laptop Memory

The Crucial 32GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM (CT32G4SFD832A) is Crucial-by-Micron's flagship high-capacity DDR4 single-module memory — packing the maximum 32GB DDR4 SODIMM capacity into a single slot at the top JEDEC DDR4 speed of 3200 MT/s. This is the ultimate single-module upgrade for power users with DDR4 laptops, leaving the second SODIMM slot free for future expansion to a massive 64GB total. Manufactured directly by Micron — one of the world's three largest DRAM fabricators — this 2Rx8 dual-rank module brings reliable JEDEC compliance, 1.2V operation for cooler temperatures and longer battery life, and Plug & Play compatibility with all modern DDR4-equipped Intel 10th-13th Gen and AMD Ryzen 4000-7000 series laptops. The ideal upgrade for content creators, software developers, virtualization specialists, and any DDR4 power user who demands maximum capacity per slot.
