Crucial RAM 16GB DDR5 4800MHz CL40 Desktop Memory (CT16G48C40U5)

The Crucial CT16G48C40U5 is a 16GB single-module DDR5 desktop memory stick designed for DDR5-compatible motherboards and platforms. Running at a rated speed of 4800MHz with a CAS latency of 40 (CL40), this UDIMM delivers the higher bandwidth headroom that DDR5 introduces compared to previous-generation DDR4 platforms, enabling smoother multitasking, faster data transfers between the CPU and RAM, and improved throughput for everyday computing, productivity software, and content creation workloads. DDR5 brings die ECC (error-correcting code) as part of the JEDEC specification, which helps catch and correct single-bit memory errors at the module level — a feature built into the DDR5 standard itself. The kit ships as a single 16GB stick, making it straightforward to add capacity to a system with a free DIMM slot or to replace an existing module. For users who require dual-channel bandwidth, a second identical module can be paired with this one. Crucial is a memory brand operated by Micron Technology, one of the largest DRAM manufacturers in the world, and this module is manufactured to JEDEC DDR5 standards, ensuring broad compatibility with Intel and AMD platforms that support DDR5.
