I initially installed this memory in the already-open slots 1 and 3 (the factory RAM was in slots 2 and 4) and got 3 beeping sounds and no bootup. After following the advice of another reviewer here, I turned it back off, opened the memory compartment back up, and swapped the positions of the factory RAM and the Crucial RAM so it went like this: Slot 1: 4GB Apple RAM (Top slot if iMac is upright) Slot 2: 8GB Crucial RAM Slot 3: 4GB Apple RAM Slot 4: 8GB Crucial RAM (Bottom slot if iMac is upright) That worked fine and I now have 24GB of RAM installed on the Late 2012 27' iMac. Tip 1: the Crucial RAM is a tight fit in the memory slots. To get them back out to swap their positions, I first had to remove the Apple RAM so that I could get a. Works well bought it for a macbook pro (15-inch, early 2011), and it works as advertised and i have no complaints so far but i was little surprised about the shipping as this is delicate piece and it did not came up secured in the box it was dancing all over luckily it is still working.

Pros: Great price for the Memory,Good Quality product, I ran the memtest and it passed with flying colors. No kernel panics or glitches yet Cons: Packaging should be anti static and bind tightly even though I have not had any issues with the memory. I have a iMac 27' 5k 2015. This is the model ram you will get, CMSA16GX3M2A1600C11, and it is the newest model tested and made for Mac up to the year 2015 up to 4+gb processor.

It has worked flawlessly without any issues whatsoever. Now nothing is perfect, so maybe some customers received defective ones but that goes for everything in life. The photo at this time is a little out dated here as they ship you the newer DDR3L which is the newest model with less heat buildup so it runs even faster.

I had 4gb or ram in my Macbook Pro late 2011, it was literally crawling. I decided to upgrade the memory a while ago but I couldn't justify spending $150+. I came across this Timetec ram at Amazon.com which is almost 35% less than the name brand, I paid $90 for 16 gb.

I was a bit skeptical because I never heard of this brand. But because of the rating I wanted to give it a shot. The installation was super easy. Now my mac responds very fast. I'm really impressed. I'm hoping that this ram is not going to fail on me. If things change, I'll update my review.

But for now, it's awesome. FANTASTIC PRODUCT! Wilson fatshaft driver for mac. I ordered two sets of these for my dad's 2010 iMac and they fit and work perfectly. Don't buy anything that's not Apple Certified, I made that mistake twice before finding these. Cheaper brands end up arriving dead on arrival, cost you return shipping, and too much aggravation. As it has been for the past 10+ years, Corsair continues to make phenomenal RAM, and we couldn't be happier with this purchase.

It came sealed in a perfect container, keeping it extra safe, and was extremely easy to install. I highly recommend getting this. This is the perfect upgrade for mi 2017 iMac. In dec 2017 i bought my 2017 iMac with radeon pro 580, but with only 8GB ram, because i would upgrade the ram after, now that i had the chance, i bought OWC 2x8GB RAM 2400MHz.

The importan question: Why OWC? A: Reliability. You can buy corsair, patriot, kingston, crucial, ok ect, but really they haven't experience, making accessories or parts certified for apple, that grants the best compatibility & reliability, i don't play with little probabilities, when a brand like OWC really show u: WHY YOUR PRODUCTS FOR APPLE, REALLY WORKS FOR APPLE, until they sure you that your memories works with apple stock memory!

I chatted with they, asking advice and tips about my work with my iMac, thinking if 8GB more or 16GB more, i went to 16GB more Great customer service, now my iMac went. I installed two sets (4 sticks, 32 GB total) in my late 2012 27' iMac and they are working great. About this Mac shows it as 32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. GeekBench reports memory performance of 7782 and stream of 7718 (best of 2 tests). Overall score of 13070. This appears to be slightly higher than the average memory speed scores as you would expect going from the standard CL11 to CL10 RAM. I had trouble the first time I attempted to install the RAM.

Memory Card For Macbook Pro 2015

The Mac beeped repeatedly instead of playing the startup sound. I removed all the RAM and swapped around the sticks a pair at a time and was able to start up normally with first 16 and then 32 GB. This problem was probably user error and not any issue with the memory itself. If this happens to you, don't panic. Just install the RAM a pair at.

MacBook Airs and Retina MacBook Pros offer practically zero upgradability, but one area that there is some flexibility with is storage. Many third party memory manufactures are taking advantage of the SD card slot present in MacBook Airs and Retina Pros to add semi-permant storage to these Macs. We first saw these products begin popping up last year, but the release of Transcend’s JetDrive Lite line this morning made us think it was worth taking a look at three of the options currently available. These expansion drives are nearly as convenient as on-board storage but can be used for Time Machine backups and transferring large files between devices. The problem with shoving any SD card into your MacBook is that is protrudes out from the laptop casing, which leaves the card and your Mac vulnerable to damage or getting knocked out. It’s also an eyesore to constantly have a card peaking out from your Mac’s otherwise seamless and uniform design. The memory expansion modules we’re going to take a look at are customized to fit nearly flush.

The most well-known version is the. It comes in two different capacities (64GB/128GB), is colored black, and protrudes just enough to make it easy to remove.

The 64GB/128GB models retail for $100/$200, but these are. The is only available in 64GB, and it includes a pull tab to make it even easier to remove. Some people may dislike the fact that the pull tab has ‘SanDisk’ branded on it, but that doesn’t seem like a deal-breaker to me. It retails for $59.99, but is. Just this morning Transcend its in 64GB and 128GB capacities.

Transcend says that users can expect read and write speeds of up to 95MB/s and 60MB/s respectively, which is the fastest of the bunch. Obviously, there isn’t any real world data to backup these claims yet and overall performance will also vary by Mac, it is still nice to see Transcend attempting to push the product category forward. The JetDrive Lites are priced aggressively with current rates starting at just and going up to. If you already own a you could opt to increase your MacBook storage by popping it into a custom adapter which mimics the modules mentioned above. The is capped with hand-polished aluminum so it will match your Apple hardware.

It’s available in silver and red at a retail price of $39.99 (on sale at Amazon for ). There is also the less-elegent, but more budget-conscious solution called ““, which looks to be a Nifty clone but at.

Also, if you are really determined to expand your Mac’s memory, you can with one of Transcend’s new JetDrive kits. Before making your final purchase, be sure that the model you choose is compatible with your specific Mac model as some manufactures have slightly different SKUs for different Macs. SD slot depth also varies between models so some of the aforementioned solutions may protrude more or less depending on your Mac.
