Might be an all time low? Pretty much the default RAM for laptop upgrades.

Intel nuc 11 essential (10nm) only allows for jedec profiles, so this is a good option for anyone with one of those.
Intel nuc 11 essential (10nm) only allows for jedec profiles, so this is a good option for anyone with one of those.
Why is it a good option for those people to limit themselves to 2666 when the model with a 3200 JEDEC profile only costs $3 more?
3200 no gud
@Budju: It has a JEDEC profile for 2933. Crucial doesn't actually make 2933 modules so the 3200 is the only way to get there with them.
edit: For the Intel NUC 11 Essential, the CT8G4SFS832A is actually the only Crucial module that has been validated by Intel.

@HomeAlone: So the 2666 is better because you're only getting cas latency 22 @ 2933 vs 19 @ 2666.
I'm using cas 18 @ 2666 which is even faster than cas 22 @ 3200.
@Budju: CL22 @ 3200 (13.75ns)
CL21 @ 2933 (14.32ns)
CL19 @ 2666 (14.25ns)If you're looking at purely latency then yes at 2666 it has 0.07ns (~0.49%) quicker latency compared to 2933, but it comes at a huge cost resulting in a 267MT/s (9.1%) decrease to the data rate.
@HomeAlone: So you reckon the timings automatically adjust based on whatever frequency they fire up as? I was under the impression the timings would be retained at CL22 and you'd just have slow ram with poor timings.
So you reckon the timings automatically adjust based on whatever frequency they fire up as?
Yep, that's exactly how it works. All the different profiles with their frequencies, timings, etc. are written in the SPD.
If you're interested in seeing this for yourself you can use the freeware version of Thaiphoon Burner to read all the information from the SPD.
Run the software, click Read from the toolbar and select a RAM module from the dropdown menu.
@HomeAlone: Thanks, I didn't know. Looks like I should have gone with a 3200 kit then. Strangely the benchmark I saw comparing 2666 kit to a 3200 kit, the 2666 kit came out with better performance for the intel nuc 11 essential. Not sure how this could be explained:
@Budju: An unknown model of Kingston 2666 vs an unknown brand/model of 3200 isn't much to go on.
One possibility is that the 2666 is 1Rx8 or 2Rx8 while the 3200 is 1Rx16, but it's impossible to say when he won't tell us what he's actually testing with.
@HomeAlone: Yeah I was going on the assumption it was dual Kingston KVR32S22D8 but that's right he could give a lot more information about this benchmark comparison.
Intel laptops from pre-2021 will all fit into this category, for those considering this the speed is an up to, it can run at the speeds below this.
If you have an Intel laptop with a single 2400Mhz & a second slot, this is a must buy.
Might be an all time low?
$39 according to camel³ so yes - I guess
Thanks OP! I don't need it i rock 3200 but for people with older laptops, what a bargain!
No extended warranty on this outside Amazon, right?
does it fit t470s?
If it helps.. I had 2* CT8G4SFRA266 in my T480 and worked perfectly. $37 currently.
https://www.amazon.com.au/Crucial-PC4-21300-SODIMM-260-Pin-M…Update: Better check Crucial..
https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/lenovo/thinkp…Ah, I asked a related question below.
Would you happen to know what is the difference between the two ?No idea sadly. Sorry..
Thank you for the links @start3r nothing comes up for "t480s" on the Crucial site.
There's 2 listings for T480s on Crucial site depending on which gen CPU is in the laptop.
Go to ..https://www.crucial.com/upgrades/lenovo/thinkpad-t-series
Scroll down the list and you'll see the 2 listings, one for Intel 7th gen CPU and another for Intel 8th gen CPU
thanks, i think ill wait for those 2400mhz speed on sale, i wont take any risk for this budget build, any waste of money is huge even if it is only 35ish dollars.
Thanks OP. Just ordered for my Dell G3 3590
good for my nas DS220+ update.
Thanks OP, picked up to expand DS920+ RAM — google seems to show consensus that this model works well
Thanks OP…Got 2 to expand my qnap NAS.
What is the difference between these 2 ?
There is a $3 difference even-though all the specs seem to be the same.The $37 one seems to have a model number - CT8G4SFRA266. Checking the specs on crucial's website, the density is listed as 8. So is this the better one to get even if $3 extra ?
Couldn't find the model number for the cheaper $34 one - so not sure if this one should be avoided ?
I am keen to avoid the one highlighted in LTT videos, so any info on which one to avoid is much appreciated.
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B071KNKBQ1 - $37 - CT8G4SFRA266
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B08C56KXQJ - $34 - ?????
Or, can anyone that has purchased this, can you please share a pic of the front packaging that shows the model number ?
(example for the other one is - CT8G4SFRA266)Weird that its hard to find the model number of this one on amazons website ?
I got mine, it was an empty package… Someone had cut it open and taken the RAM out.
It said CT8G4SFS8266 though.
Ended up just getting the FRA since this one was out by the time I got my refund.
Ssucks that it got [possibly] stolen !
CT8G4SFS8266 doesn't show up on crucial's own website ? I only see the CT8G4SFRA266 on their site.
I was too late as well and got the CT8G4SFRA266.
Most recent laptops use 3200MHz, I think you're looking at Intel 9th/10th gen or older for 2666MHz
Not bad price though also x8 density and not the crappy x16
