Awsome

I upgraded from 6gb to this 8gb and what a difference. This is by far the best money you can spend to upgrade your computer. With the 6gb I could run lightroom and photoshop and that was about all. Now I have no problem running them and Spotify and email and my browser. 2gb made a world of difference for me.

Crucial Memory to update mid-2011 iMac

I purchased the Crucial Technology 16GB (2x8GB) 204-pin SODIMM DDR3 PC3-10600 to upgrade my mid-2011 iMac. Works great. Very tight fit, must use some force to install. I was afraid of damaging the cards so I didn't press firmly enough to properly seat the cards. It will be obvious once they seat. If they don't snap into place they are not properly seated.

Works great on iMac 27” late 2015 5K Retina

Works without problem. Anyway, three years ago I bought this exact pair only half thr price of the moment. It’s crazy how the price goes up over time.

Simple, inexpensive upgrade

Tripling the memory of a 2015 27" iMac took all of 5 minutes. With a restart, the new memory was ready to go. The price was right with Adorama, and the memory was drop shipped from Crucial quickly.

RAM arrived intact and installed easily

RAM arrived intact and installed easily. However, I was sad to learn that my 32-bit PC OS (Windows 7 Pro) cannot handle more than 4GB (3.24GB usable) RAM. So, this upgrade was totally worthless for me. For somebody with a 64-bit OS, I'm sure it would have worked great.

Perfect!!!

My desktop just died so instead buying a new one I decided to upgrade the RAM on my laptop to make it last as long as possible. To make sure you're buying the correct RAM for your system, please be sure to use Crucial's system scan. As for Adorama, this was a smooth transaction from start to finish. Their customer service is fantastic. I'll definitely return for purchase purchases. Keep up the good works guys!!!

Crucial is #1

Always reliable, we never use anything else. Mac, PC, Laptop, Desktop, Server- always Crucial memory. We would rather go without than use a different brand.

Right memory at the right price

Running in my 2011 iMac for several weeks now, no problems at all. Ran Apple's hardware test for about three hours, no errors. Shipped almost immediately at a substantially lower price than buying direct from Crucial. What's not to like?

Easy to install and works great

Upgraded an early 2011 13" Macbook Pro from 4 GB (2x2GB) to 16 GB (2x8GB). The computer runs well now since it is no longer constantly swapping when the browser is open. I think 8GB (2x4GB) would have also made a dramatic improvement but decided to go to the maximum. Highly recommended for those wanting to put new life into a slightly older Macbook Pro.

Crucial RAM

After a really bad experience upgrading my 13" early 2011 Mac Book Pro with non-Apple certified ram, I looked for an affordable option to paying their prices. Adorama had one and I jumped at it. It offered free expedited delivery (ordered Friday afternoon, arrived in Monday's mail) and my computer speed has increased dramatically. I have always had great service from Adorama, and highly recommend them and this RAM upgrade.

Works as expected - Lenovo G560

Tough to review RAM since it either works or it doesn't. I had used the Crucial site to verify this was compatible with my older Lenovo G560 laptop and it was - this is the maximum supported 8Gb. Simply replaced the existing 2 * 2Gb modules with these and booted right up no issue. Just how a RAM upgrade is supposed to be.

Late 2008 Macbook Pro

My Macbook Pro has been running great for almost 6 years but with Mavericks and the new Yosemite update looming from Apple the 4GB of memory wasn't cutting it. 4GB of memory will run Mavericks but load anything flash based or have multiple programs going at once and you'll constantly see the swirly rainbow. Luckily Apple released an upgraded firmware a few years ago to allow late 2008 model Macbook Pro's to be able to use the full 8GB instead of the 6GB limit before the new firmware. I've only been using the upgraded memory for about two weeks but coupled with a solid state drive the upgrade to 8GB memory has made using my Macbook Pro an enjoyable experience again. I think i might get another year or two out of this laptop with just those two upgrades.

Crucial 16 GB SODIMM DDR3L

By CRAIG U.

Product came quickly. Very easy to install. Excellent customer service.

Take the guesswork out of upgrading your Mac with Crucial memory for Mac systems. Since Apple computers often have very specific memory requirements, including particular component densities, speeds and SPD programming specifications, it's important to use memory that's engineered for your Mac. With more than a decade of experience manufacturing and developing memory for all types of Apple computers, trust Crucial memory to optimize your Mac system's performance.

• Increases Mac system performance
• Compatible with Mac systems
• All DDR3 and DDR3L modules are lead- and halogen-free
• Easy to install
• Every single module extensively tested at the component and module level
• Available in SODIMMs, RDIMMs and ECC UDIMMs
• Limited lifetime warranty

Reliability for Mac systems
When you use your Mac system, you expect intuitive, dependable performance. And if you're a Mac Pro user, you expect mission-critical workstation reliability. Expect the same out of your memory. Every module that leaves Crucial Technology doors has been extensively tested at the component level for voltage and temperature resistances, signal integrity and software compatibility. Even better, modules are lead- and halogen-free.

Speed and energy efficiency for Mac systems
A memory upgrade is the fastest, easiest and most affordable way to get more performance out of your Mac system. Standard DDR3 modules help Mac systems reach speeds up to 1600 MT/s. For newer Mac systems, DDR3L modules are available. These modules deliver speeds starting at 1866 MT/s and use 10% less power for improved energy efficiency.

Support for Mac systems
Unsure how to install memory or have an important question about your Mac system Let Crucial Technology team of experts help! Their team knows Apple systems and requirements inside and out and they will provide the technical support you need - no matter which Mac system you're using. From phone support, videos, FAQ articles and do-it-yourself install guides for more than 70 different Mac systems, they have got the resources you need to keep your system up to speed.

Micron quality - a higher level of reliability
As a brand of Micron, one of the largest memory manufacturers in the world, Crucial memory for Mac systems is backed by the same quality and innovation that has produced some of the world's most advanced memory and storage technologies. With a product portfolio that includes upgrades for more than 100,000 systems, they have got one specifically designed for your Mac system.

Memory spec terms
If you're not sure if a module is right for your system, use the Crucial Memory Advisor tool for a list of guaranteed compatible modules.

NON-ECC/Non-parity
Most desktop and laptop computers take NON-ECC or Non-parity memory.

ECC/Parity
ECC or parity modules look for errors in data and are most often found in servers and other mission-critical applications used by large networks and businesses.

Unbuffered
Most PCs and workstations use unbuffered memory which is faster than registered memory.

Registered/Buffered
Registered or buffered modules delay all information transferred to the module by one clock cycle. This type of memory is primarily used in servers.

Fully buffered
Designed for next-generation servers, features an advanced memory buffer.

CL -
CAS (column address strobe) latency, which is the number of clock cycles it takes before data starts to flow after a command is received. Lower CL is faster. Modules with different CL can be mixed on a system, but the system will only run at the highest (slowest) CL.

Component configuration
(For example: 64Meg x 64) Indicates the size of the memory chip components on the module.

Voltage
For example 2.6V. Indicates the power used by the module. The lower the better.

Note:

As per Apple manufacturer specifications, memory can't be upgraded on (a) many Mac systems made after mid-2012 and (b) retina-based models. Before upgrading your memory, consult your owner's manual to verify that an upgrade is possible.
