READ THIS BEFORE BUYING RAM (DO NOT BUY Crucial Ballistic Sport RAM)

DO NOT BUY bls2kit8g3d1609ds1s00 with Shuttle XPC Cube SH81R4 (https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Pin2list BLS2KIT8G1DSBEE0W09/DSBEE0W09/ GEE0W09DS1 currently recommends a "stored pair" and it just doesn't work. The Crucial Ballistic Sport Bar with the part number above appears to work, it even tests with memtest with no problems. Try going into the BIOS. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. When I went through the BIOS menu to set up the system, there was video corruption and finally BIOS corruption. That said, it looked like video corruption, but I really think the system hates that memory. Then when I tried to install Windows 8 it started installing and I could never click the install button, the system froze and rebooted. I tried the above memory in two brand new SH81R4 systems and encountered the same problem. I finally looked at the Shuttle site and bought the memory on the compatibility list: 2 from Crucial 8 GB Single DDR3 1600 MT/s PC3-12800 CL11 Unbuffered UDIMM 240-pin Desktop Memory CT102464BA160B (https://www.amazon.com /gp /product/B00AZGZFGS/) and that fixed the problem.

Pros
  • Nice Packaging
Cons
  • Quality
