Dato SSDs and memory RAM in South Africa

Our Dato range covers the two most common upgrades for an older or slow computer: storage and memory. For storage there is the DP700 Pro NVMe M.2 2280 SSD in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB, and the DS700 2.5-inch SATA III SSD in 256GB, 512GB and 1TB.

For memory there are DDR4 3200MHz SO-DIMM laptop modules in 4GB, 8GB, 16GB and 32GB, DDR4 3200MHz desktop modules in 8GB and 16GB, and a 4GB DDR3 1600MHz desktop module for older machines.

Picking the right Dato upgrade

Before you buy an SSD, check what your computer supports. Many recent laptops and desktops have an M.2 slot that takes NVMe drives like the DP700 Pro; the 2280 size refers to its length. Older laptops and desktops usually have a 2.5-inch SATA bay, where the DS700 fits as a direct swap for a hard drive, making start-up and loading noticeably quicker.

For memory, DDR3 and DDR4 are not interchangeable, and laptops need SO-DIMM modules while desktops use full-size modules. Check how many slots you have and the maximum your system supports. Adding a matching second module to a single-stick system often helps performance as well as capacity.
