ATTENTION TO THE BUYER! for computer components

I agree with several posts that say you should not buy generic memory modules. I bought two 4GB modules for my Mac Book Pro and got the same results as the other reviewer: 3 beeps starting and stopping. The computer only booted up once. Checked the memory status and everything was fine until I turned on the computer a few hours later. The memory has the exact same specs as originally installed in my computer, but it doesn't work in mine. Save time and hassle and buy Crucial memory. Never hadโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Doubtful

So far it's working fine!

I installed the RAM 5 minutes before writing this post. Everything is working great so far and I can say that there is a noticeable difference in performance compared to the 4GB of RAM I had. I was hesitant with this purchase at first given some of the reviews and will update if I notice any changes over the next few months. Two important points: Make sure you have the correct screwdriver to remove the back cover. If not, you can order it from Revain for a few bucks. Secondly, follow the RAMโ€ฆ

Great offer and find!

I received the item in about 5 days. I chose these guys because they advertised the same modules and features as Apple's online store. BIG DIFFERENCE in cost. Apple charges $200 for the same modules, while they were only around $35 from this seller. So they are also very profitable with shipping. I installed them on my computer (Mid 2010 MacBook Pro) (please be sure to visit your computer manufacturer's website to see if you can perform this process yourself) and they have shown a noticeableโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Do not waste too much time
Cons
  • Disappear

My story with this RAM (or be wary of buying generic RAM)

I manage six old Macs that require PC3-8500 RAM and I've already taken all but one until to 8GB. I've upgraded the memory of about 30 Macs over the last few years. I bought this RAM from Dataram. It was clearly marked PC3-8500 RAM. The modules I received didn't work on any of my Macs. I was able to get a computer (a 2010 MacBook Pro) to boot with it, but it never completed the boot process. MBP 2009 and 2009 and 2010 MB crashed at power on due to memory beeps. I was able to run MemTest86โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Everything is fine

Works great in a Macbook

You will receive two pieces of 4GB each (which you need if you have a laptop because you want the same RAM in each slot, it won't work if only one slot is full ). Arrived quickly with no damage and I've had no problems using their products on my Mac. RAM upgrades are a great way to boost your computer's performance, so it can handle additional system updates, more complex software, and feel like a brand new computer without spending a lot of money. You should check the model of RAM you needโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Brilliantly made
Cons
  • Appearance

I was very disappointed with the speed.

While frustrated by my Mac Mini's speed, I found a YouTube video about upgrading memory. I looked at the specs on my mini (mid 2010), ordered the maximum memory capacity (8GB), waited a week for delivery and returned within 5 minutes of unplugging the device (remove back panel, remove/insert two memory modules, reinstall ) I had 8g RAM instead of 2g. The Mini started right away with no fuss or fuss, and the speed is back to where it was when the unit was new. This DIY is not easy.

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • It's hard to remember, but it was
