1Rx8 means it is a single-rank module and 2Rx8 means it is a dual-rank module module. Rank is a data block which is 64 bits wide without Error Correction Code (ECC) created using some, or all of the memory chips on a module. The x8 in them specifies the number of banks in the memory module.
Which RAM is better 1Rx8 or 1Rx16?
The difference is the memory density. 1Rx16 is lower density memory than 1Rx8. 1Rx16 memory is very hard to find, and since the 8 GB chip is 1Rx8 and you want to add another one, that is what you should look for.Dec 29, 2019
Can I mix 1Rx8 and 1Rx16?
As far as I can tell from google search, 1Rx16 and 1Rx8 are usually intercompatible, but not always. You should make sure you use SODIMMs (laptop memory modules) of the same frequency, as if you use modules of a different frequency, they will both run at the frequency of the slowest module.
Can I use 2Rx8 instead of 1Rx8?
Generally you can mix 1Rx8 and 2Rx8, as well, though mixing different kinds of RAM sometimes prevents interleaving (i.e., it might be a tad slower). I do recommend running a memory test after RAM upgrades, though.
How do I know if my RAM is 1R or 2R?

What does PC3 10600S means?
And for what it's worth, the 10600 is another designation for DDR3 1333 DRAM, PC3 indicates DDR3 and the 10600 indicates the theoretical number of M/Ts (roughly MegaBytes per second)Mar 1, 2014
What is 10600S on RAM?
The "S" as in DDR3 10600S for example stands for SO-DIMM which is the size of RAM for Laptops. If you had desktop memory the same RAM would say DDR3 10600.
What is DDR3 PC3-10600?
Today's DDR3-1333 has a peak bandwidth of 10666 MHz, which can be improperly rounded down and called PC3-10600, rounded up to be called PC3-10700 or stated without rounding as PC3-10666 depending on the manufacturer's desires.Nov 13, 2009
