Crucial 8GB DDR3L 1600 MHz SODIMM Memory Module
Why did I wait so long?!
I finally purchased and upgraded RAM in my late 2012 iMac. Why in the world did I wait so long? It couldn't be easier to install, took me all of 7 minutes start to finish, although I was being cautious. Once installed, my machine runs faster, calling up applications faster and reboots like a breeze. Now, when using Lightroom and other applications simultaneously, there is little hesitation.

Works perfectly with my late 2013 iMac 27
The two 8 GB modules arrived quickly and perfectly protected. Apple support has very clear online instructions on how to add them to the iMac. It is extremely easy to do (I had my daughter do it so she would learn how). It took ten minutes. When I powered the iMac back on, the memory was instantly recognized. For the very low cost of the additional 16 GB memory, it's a must-do upgrade.

Worked Great in iMac 27" 2013 model not 4K
Worked great, iMac was running a little slow and only showing 4GB of its original 8GB memory. Found one of the 4GB modules had worked loose on one end. Secured that original 4GB module and added the new 8GB Crucial module, now the iMac shows it has 16GB. Wife is happy and feels like it is a new machine. We ordered another 8GB module and received it today but it is not as yet installed.

Works Great!!!
I purchased this memory for my Mac Mini i7 2.53ghz. I have to run Parallels to run Windows 7 on this computer and with the addition of the 16GB memory, It runs like a chief with the Mac OS. Running it before with the factory 8GB was terrible and many times Windows just bombed out parallels and I had many episodes of reboots. But not now, with the 16gb this is a thing of the past.

CRUCIAL RAM BARS ALWAYS WORK!
I purchased an ASUS recently that I could boost up to 16 gigs, and to my immediate attention, I knew that I needed all the power that the ASUS laptop could offer me, and thus, the 8 gig crucial ram bar was the first thing that I knew I needed. Crucial is a great company to trust as they have never failed me thus far. I bought two 8 gigs ram bars and my asus now is a power house.

Simply brilliant
Used 2 x 8Gb sticks to upgrade the 2 x 2Gb stock ones in my Mac Mini They simply worked immediately and boot time was noticably faster, as were all other functions Definitely highy recommended and the way to a faster Mac FYI the video memory (shared) went from 384Mb to 1Gb instantly, so I have 15Gb available for other stuff and therefore can't recommend going from 4 to 8Gb only

Not for late 2013 27 iMac
I have noticed some reviewers are using this memory in late 2013 iMac's. Or Macs designed to be used with 1.35 volt memory. The voltage on this module is too high at 1.4 volts. The correct memory voltage for the later Mac's is 1.35 volts. I guess you can use this as some are but getting into the TECH aspect of this module is incorrect for MACS using 1.35 volt modules.

Late 2012 Mac Mini working GREAT now!
I have a late 2012 Mac Mini. It only had four gigs of RAM in it. I updated to Sierra, and it was running very slow. Was about to drop quite a bit of money on a new computer. But I figured I try this RAM first. Well, to my surprise, it is running so beautiful now I can't even believe it. It's running just about what I'd expect a new iMac to run. Could've be happier.

Can't go wrong with Crucial Memory
Had a client with a Dell touch screen All in one and the memory from Dell had problems. Dell came out and replaced a bad chip but the computer still had issues. I decided to order Crucial memory on B&H and I got it at a good price, installed it on my client's computer and all is good now. PS: Crucial website didn't have it in stock but B&H did. B&H from now on.

A well-designed brand-name product
When you buy RAM, you want it to fit perfectly and work without any hiccups. Quality is determined by the perfect fit and correct functionality. Crucial provides just such quality and it went into my mid-2015 retina iMac without a hitch. I'm running without any problems and 32GB of usable RAM now. This was a great purchase from one of my favorite retailers.

It's memory.
I purchased this for my Mid-2012 MacBook Pro. I mean, it's memory ? you take the old ones out and you put the new ones in. There really isn't much to review. The packaging was easy to open. Perhaps I could take away a star because they could have made the package smaller and I didn't notice if it was made from recycled plastic or not. I'll be nice today...

Massive Performance Boost
I was running a mid 2012 macbook pro with 4GB of ram and needed it to handle video editing software. I installed the 16GB and it has made my macbook substantially faster. It runs much smoother and is able to handle large 4k easily. Best investment i made. Between the RAM and the 1TB HDD i installed, i boosted the performance of my macbook 10x for under $.

Fantastic upgrade to my 13 Macbook Pro
With this memory upgrade which is a fraction of the cost from what Apple wanted. I can now edit video using Final Cut Pro X on my 13 Macbook ProBefore I would get the pinwheel for upwards of 5-7 minutes just to add a cross fade into a scene. Last night I was able to render a 51 minute documentary with 5 audio tracks and 7 layers of video...incredible..

Updated Macbook Pro early 2011 - Great!
Crucial brand memory is always guaranteed to be a great product in my opinion. This module went in easy without any problems and was instantly recognized by my macbook. It's been zinging along ever since. I run a lot of code with many windows open (excel, several terminal windows, chrome, etc) and with the increased memory my computer no longer hangs.

Computer Faster than Before
Excellent upgrade. My computer works just as fast (or maybe even faster) than the day I got it. Very happy with this upgrade. Also got new SSD drive from Crucial as well. I installed the memory first just to see if it alone would increase the computer, and, yes, it did. This plus the new SSD made the computer is VERY fast and HIGHLY responsive!

Memory upgrade for Macbook Pro
First, the customer service I received was exceptional. I upgraded my Macbook Pro 13.3 (mid 2012) to 16GB of memory. I usually purchase my memory from Crucial directly, but they were out of stock. I found my way to B&H and not only was my transaction very easy, but it was actually cheaper. I highly recommend this store and the memory upgrade.

Just the RAM my computer needed
I needed 16GB of RAM for my 5K Retina iMac. All I had to do was call up B&H and they knew right away the EXACT RAM I needed. So simple. Great price. I always feel I'm in good hands when I order from B&H. Now my iMac is maxed out at 32GB RAM and runs like a top! Thank you, B&H!!! I alway recommend you to other computer and audio geeks like me.

Great Upgrade for 27 iMac
I used this product to upgrade my 27 iMac that I use for video editing and production. Before the upgrade, I would have to play back the video previews at half resolution in Premiere Pro and couldn't get multiple Adobe CC programs to run at once. Now, with a total of 24GB of RAM, my iMac flies! I can't wait to upgrade it to the maximum 32GB.

Upgraded my Mac Mini (2012) to 16 Gb
This memory kit is compatible with Mac Mini 2012. The installation took less than 5 minutes and my Mac Mini booted right up and now I very rarely see the spinning rainbow ball!!!! This was a great upgrade and pricing of this memory kit has fallen substantially. You will be happy for at least one more year with your Mac Mini's performance :))

Must have upgrade for Mac Mini
We use this memory in Mac Minis to upgrade to maximum allowable RAM for a music recording service. It's very reasonably priced, and the Crucial brand has never failed us (knock on wood). It can be slightly tricky to get out of the packaging and install. I always feel like I'm going to break it! Having said that, I'm 100% in dozens of tries!

It's memory, it was cheap, it works
Not much to say except it's iMac compatible memory for far less than the Apple branded stuff. I used it to upgrade my late 2013 27 iMac from 16GB to 32GB. The modules install in a snap (literally and figuratively) and that's all there is to it. Performance increase was immediately noticeable in processing large RAW files. Worth every penny.

Mac Mini - Performance boost.
Installed this memory in my new Mac-Mini 2012 2.3 GHz Intel Core i7, taking it from 4G to 16G. Super easy to install, and it made an instant, amazing performance difference with the computer. Everything is snappier to respond. Computer and apps launch SO much faster. Photoshop and Illustrator run SO much better, much more responsive.

Fast, and B&H quality
I installed 32 GB of ram into my 27 3.4GHz Core i7 iMac upon delivery. I did not use the iMac with the stock 8GB of ram but I like my computer to be able to handle watching video, editing pictures and video and just to surf on. 32 GB may be overkill but I figure this iMac will last me a very long time. Thanks for the package B&H.

Works just fine
Popped these in my 2015 iMac running 3-screens (5k Retina + 2 Apple thunderbolts) and it booted right up and have not had any issues with apps running simultaneously or anything. I am not running a ton of graphic-based apps, but occasionally dabble in Photoshop while HD videos are running on my other screens, never a hiccup.
