Lexar has spent the last year producing its robust portfolio of SSD products and is excited to announce its entrance into the DRAM market. The two new DRAM offerings provide high-level performance to boost the speed of your laptop or desktop, respectively.

The Lexar DDR4-2666 SODIMM Laptop Memory and Lexar DDR4-2666 UDIMM Desktop Memory both offer speeds of 2666 MT/s so you can wake up your PC. This performance upgrade gives you faster startups, increased responsiveness, quicker application load times, and is an overall upgrade to your operating experience so you can multitask with ease.



Featuring a low voltage design of 1.2 V, the new DRAM 2666 ensures stability under long-term and high-intensity applications making it ideal for the new smart home offices and classroom setups.

With its first offering just released, Lexar is already poised to develop other high-performing quality DRAM solutions later this year, staying true to its innovative roots.

"We are very excited to introduce DRAM memory to our product portfolio. Given our extensive offerings of memory card and USB drive solutions, we enter the DRAM market, pairing our fast-growing SSD lines to offer users a full suite of high-performance solutions to expedite their workflow from camera to computer. While remote office and anywhere learning are on the rise, our goal is to continue offering products that deliver superior quality and performance, so that you can build a Smart Workroom or a Smart Classroom for the best user experience. Lexar looks to continue advancing our DRAM offerings, with additional high performing models to launch later this year." said Mike Chen, General Manager.

Lexar DDR4-2666 SODIMM Laptop Memory is available this month at an MSRP of $19.99 USD (4 GB- 2666 MHz), $29.99 USD (8 GB - 2666 MHz), and $64.99 USD (16 GB - 2666 MHz) $159.99 USD (32 GB - 2666 MHz).

Lexar DDR4-2666 UDIMM Desktop Memory is available this month at Platinum Micro at an MSRP of $32.99 USD (8 GB - 2666 MHz), and $64.99 USD (16 GB - 2666 MHz) $149.99 USD (32 GB - 2666 MHz). (Global)

All Lexar product designs undergo extensive testing in the Lexar Quality Labs, facilities with more than 1,100 digital devices, to ensure performance, quality, compatibility, and reliability.

Always good with more competition BUT we need more actual memory chip manufacturers.

Price syndicates among memory manufacturers is a problem BUT the new up and coming Chinese memory chip manufacturers can be the cure for this as soon as they ramp up production.

Chinese government got tiered of being price extorted by these price syndicates so they invested billions $$$ in Chinese memory manufacturers to solve the problem with high memory prices.

Funny to see how these memory manufacturers with their price syndicates painted them self's in to a corner, they woke the big Chinese dragon with their greed, it will be near impossible for them to continue controlling memory prices in the future.

UDIMM can stand for unbuffered/unregistred DIMM
this RAM is 2666 CL19 wich is slow as f*ck
at least it should not boot with only 2133, but with 2666 out of th box because the 2666 is SPD, non-XMP, but the spec sheet could have errors

I know what it stands for, that's why I'm making a point of correcting the author.
SoDimm can be called UDIMM too.
