Crucial 4GB DDR3L 1600 MHz SODIMM Memory Module
Increase in performance and content
I bought a Dell Inspiron 15 i7559-5012GRY Signature Edition Laptop in December 2016. The module installed easily. I noticed an increase of speed at startup, loading web pages with more content, and running programs. I was happy to see that my 6,700 photos popped up faster too. I gave this product 4 stars instead of 5 because since my first computer in 1995, I never paid so much for memory. B&H had the best price when I pulled the trigger. I did ont want to risk paying less to get ihis product from someone I never heard of before.

Very reasonable high quality memory for the Mac
These were installed in a late 2015 27 iMac 5K Retina. Although they are technically slower than the ones recommended for this iMac (the late 2015 iMac 5K Retina can take up to PC3-14900, these are PC3-12800), when performance was compared between these and the higher speed devices no detectable difference in machine performance could be detected.They worked well and as expected with no negative issues whatsoever. They can be thoroughly recommended as a cost effective and efficient way to improve your iMac's performance.

Working great in iMac 5k
Bought this kit for a late 2014 iMac 5k 27inch. By adding it to the stock 8GB of RAM (the cheapest configuration you can order) it brought total memory up to 24GB. So far it's working great for editing 4k video in FCPX. You definitely need more than 8GB in this machine. Value and quality of the product seem great. It was very easy to install the RAM. Only reason I reserved a star was because I haven't had the memory long enough to comment on durability, but have every reason to expect it will be great.

Perfect fit & iMac Works Faster
I bought this memory upgrade for my late-2013 iMac and it's a perfect fit. I was apprehensive mixing memory from different makers and different sizes. No problems installing and the iMac started right up, no issues or problems. Installation couldn't be easier. I use this for editing photos in Photoshop CC and Lightroom. Some functions are processor bound and/or I/O bound if using external drives for scratch disks. This isn't the ultimate solution for those processes but overall it's a good improvement.

Who needs a new computer!
My Mac was running like a dog... Thought I had to buy a new one since it is 7+ years old and trying to keep up with all the changes Apple likes to throw at us. I just wanted to see what an additional 8GB would do versus dropping $1k+ on a new machine. The turn around time from order to delivery was fast! Installation was very easy (I had never installed any hardware, to any machine, period). The result was much better than expected! It is literally running like a new machine! Couldn't be happier!

More RAM! More Programs!
Now, while I know my fair share about computers, I am not the master of all. The RAM stick I ordered arrived in a timely manner, all in one piece, and even had easy to remove packaging. While installation was a pain, that was due to me having never done something like replacing RAM before. This site has the stick cheaper than other places, and is a great value for upgrading a computer. I will probably get my next processor from here as well, as it will arrive quickly and in great condition.

added on 27 Imac (Late 2012) to get 24GB - blazing fast!
I am an average user - don't do heavy graphics, or use heavy applications, but I do have many apps running at the same. I didn't think that for what I do I needed more memory. Turns out I was very wrong. Follow Apple's instructions for IMacs from Late 2012 or later - easy 5 minute start to finish, and makes a huge difference. Now I have 24 GB and my IMac using 12GB on average. 8GB were clearly not enough. Totally worth it. Had no problem mixing these with the Apple stock 2x4GB.

iMac Ram Upgrade
As a Professional Photographer who designs and produce Composites, I must relay on, amongst other things, speed. I purchased the 27 iMac 5K (w/ Retina Display) and decided to upgrade the Ram myself @). I ordered through B&H and saved a great deal. The product is AWESOME. Works perfectly with the iMac and performance beyond what was expected. I would suggest, if you need a Ram upgrade, to purchase this product from B&H and save on money and time by upgrading the system yourself.

Worked on my Toshiba P75-A7200 Satellite Laptop
I installed two new ram chips on the back side, but I had to take apart the laptop to replace the two ram ship under the keyboard. That was a little time consuming and scary, but that allowed me to clean out the dust. The laptop initially booted up a little slowly on the first boot, and it also re-started the welcome screen twice... a little scary but, it did boot up and so far so good. The real test will be editing video in Premiere Pro CC. Works great! Buy 'em!

Amazing, as always
I always have a great experience with B & H. The memory works flawlessly in my late 2012 MacBook Pro. The price beat everyplace else on the web. Also, when considering this upgrade, I inquired on B&H chat as to whether 16GB would work in my MacBook, since it's not officially supported. The chat agent did the responsible thing and stated that it was unsupported and that he/she wouldn't recommend the upgrade. Very professional! (I bought it anyway, and it works flawlessly.)

Used in a WD My Cloud PR4100 Pro 40TB NAS
Fantastic service by B&H! Hardest part of the upgrade was taking & refitting the NAS case, else a very simple upgrade. While the default installed memory of 4gb works well enough, this upgrade made transcoded video not just fly but soar. I am yet to fully expore the extent of the expected performance, I will be testing video editing and PLEX TV transcoding on HUGE files this weekend, so this review may be further updated subject these performance tests.

Installed on Synology DS1515+
Replaced the original Synology DDR3 1600 2GB CL11 1.5V RAM in the internal slot with this Crucial DDR3L 1600 1.35V CL11 RAM. Everything works as expected. I am considering buying another one to expand in the external slot. A small gotcha: originally I installed this 1.35V new RAM in the external slot, only to find that the system did not boot. Soon I realized that the original RAM was of 1.5V voltage and all RAMs had to be on the same voltage.

This Just Works!
Was having trouble with my mix of Apple and Curcial ram in my new 27-inch iMac Retina. I did a few swap test and decided that they didn't like to play together. I had 16GB of Crucial and 8GB of Apple menory installed. So, I ripped out the 8GB of Apple memory and installed another 16GB of Curcial. Now everything thing is working perfectly. I have what I wanted all along. Crucial ram is the way to go and B&H is where you get it the cheapest!

Great Service All Round!
I had this product delivered to Australia & it took no longer than the Australian post would have taken had I bought it locally (& it was cheaper than buying it locally). The whole ordering process is simple & trouble free. I had it in my computer up & running in no time. I upgraded from 4gb in my Dell Vostro 5460 & the extra speed my computer is dealing with things now is quite noticeable. Very satisfied with my purchase. Thank You!

Perfect upgrade for Synology DS1515+
Though not officially supported by Synology, this memory matches the technical requirements of the DS1515+ NAS, which comes with 2GB from the factory, with another empty memory slot. Installation is not difficult, but a flashlight and small mirror will help with replacement of the original memory module, which is accessed from within the (empty) drive bay space. The 2nd memory slot is accessible by merely removing the NAS cover.

2X8=16GB (RAM MMK, Mac) Crucial Tech
To begin with my custom build Mac Mini was headed over budget when I checked with B&H on RAM prices and found I could have it all, yes! After checking specs, I knew this was a no brainer and B&H carried the quality and price point that would get me to a 7 second cold boot time! I have arrived. Not mechincal? No worries, there are vacuum cleaner bags harder change out one can do this and besides you've got B&H! My two cents, feg

Ma ini Works Better
Since I upgraded the Ram in my 2012 Ma ini using this product by CRUCIAL, things seem to go much more smoothly when Editing and doing Post Processing on my images in Photoshop - going from 4gigs to 16gigs (2x8gig modules) seems to make a real life difference ! The Price was Excellent -- much better than the competition Installation was a breeze ! and all in all, I'm VERY PLEASED ! This was a GREAT PURCHASE ! Thanks B&H ! :)

So Far, so Fast!
It has been about a month now of using this in a late 2012 27 2.9 GHz I5. I'm still much more happy than with the standard 8GB of ram that I had. I use creative cloud and and having a much easier time working between programs and now I don't feel the need to listen to music on anything other than my mac. Spotify did tend to give me some trouble before with everything else going on but now, it's just background music.

Not Recommended
I have a late 2013 27 iMac (3.2GHz Intel Core i5 w/ originally 8GB of RAM). I purchased this Crucial RAM for for two reasons and two reasons only: I wanted to preview RAW files faster and I wanted to open/process RAW files faster. Neither has happened. As a matter of fact, since installing this RAM, I've noticed worse load times for both preview renders and processing time. Not worth it. Invest your money elsewhere.

Don't hesitate
I purchased this option and had B&H install it on each of my Lenovo computers. Don't hesitate -- get this. With software always needing updates and hardware demanding ever-increasing processing speed, I am so glad I increased the RAM. It would have been definitely necessary down the line, probably extended the life of the computer, and/or would have been a major pain-in-the-neck to do later. I definitely recommend!

Great Upgrade
Had only 4GB of RAM with my mini Mac late 2012 model and needed more speed to work with my Adobe CS6 suite. Install couldn't be simpler and very pleased with the results. No issues at all. Chatted with an online representative with B&H to make sure product was compatible. Initially thought I could only upgrade to 8GB but fech told me I could upgrade to the 16GB, which worked out really well. So glad I did this.

Crucial 8GB 204-pin SODIMM
Installed this 8Gb SODIMM in a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E531 running Win8.1 to replace the factory-installed 4GB SODIMM, which I then installed in a second Thinkpad Edge in addition to its factory-installed 4Gb bringing both to a total of 8Gb. Both machines are working much better (and equally well) with 8Gb RAM. Very little paging even with a number of applications open. Crucial 8Gb SODIMM worked perfectly.

Fast & Reliable, Awkward Fit
I installed 2 of these babies as an upgrade from 8M to 16M on a Sony VAIO Quadcore, 16M RAM with an Nvidia Card. They were recognized right away. Although I could fit and lock them in the slots, they do not fit 100% but they fit and they can be locked in place without an issue. I assume it's hard to fit every manufacturer memory slots. Overall they locked in place and they work which is all that count.

Speed and ease of installation
This was planned for the Mac Mini since the day it was purchased. Photo shop loads in seconds instead of minutes. I could not be more pleased with price and delivery time. Four days purchase to delivery. It would have been three if I had not ordered it on a weekend. Five minutes installation time. Pull off bottom, rock out the old and roll in the new. Replace the bottom and done. Thank you, B&H
