ADATA Premier 32GB DDR4-3200 CL22 SODIMM Black

A boring but perfectly fine 32GB DDR4 SODIMM. Shop the low end of the price range and you'll be happy.

3200 MT/s at CL22 is about as middle-of-the-pack as DDR4 SODIMM gets. The speed lands at the 54th percentile and latency at the 58th, so nothing here will surprise you. What did surprise us is that ADATA bothered to slap a heat spreader on a stick running at just 1.2V. It's mostly cosmetic, but it does help with installation grip and looks less sad than bare green PCB. The 32GB capacity is the real story, sitting at the 71st percentile, which means it outranks most laptop memory on sheer volume alone.

The Kingston Fury Renegade and Corsair Vengeance RGB are desktop DDR5 kits, so they're not really in the same conversation. The Crucial Pro Overclocking CP2K16G64C32U5B is also DDR5 and desktop-only. For laptop memory specifically, this ADATA stick competes with other 32GB DDR4 SODIMMs, and honestly there aren't many exciting options. The Team Group T-CREATE EXPERT is a desktop kit too. If you need 32GB in a laptop and you're still on DDR4, this ADATA stick is one of the few single-stick options that won't require you to buy a whole new machine.

Pricing is all over the place. In the US you'll see anywhere from $198 to $330 for the same stick, and that's a $132 spread for identical hardware. Newegg has the best US deal at the low end. In Europe it's tighter, EUR 340 to EUR 381, but still worth checking which store has the lower number before you click buy. At the low end this is a solid value for a 32GB SODIMM. At the high end you're getting fleeced.

The ADATA Premier AD4S320032G22-SGN is a 32GB stick of DDR4 SODIMM memory that does exactly what it says on the tin. It's not flashy, it's not overclockable, and it won't win any benchmark wars. But if you've got a laptop with a free SODIMM slot and you're tired of Chrome eating all your RAM, this is a straightforward capacity upgrade that just works. The one thing to know: you're paying for 32GB of breathing room, not speed.

If you're building a desktop or want fast memory for gaming or content creation, this isn't it. Go get a DDR5 kit like the Kingston Fury Renegade or Corsair Vengeance RGB instead. This ADATA stick is for laptops that still run DDR4 and just need more capacity, not more speed.

Buy it if you need 32GB in a laptop that still uses DDR4 and you don't care about timings. The single-stick design means you can drop it in next to your existing 8GB or 16GB stick and get a nice capacity bump without tossing the old module. Just shop around, because the price spread is ridiculous and there's no reason to pay $330 for a stick you can get for $198.
