Not 100% compatible with 2011 Mac Mini

Everything is fine except for one HUGE incompatibility issue - the Mac mini WILL NOT WAKE UP with this RAM on your computer. This is a very rare issue but is consistent with other complaints. Visit www.critical.com for a 100% compatibility guarantee, yes it costs $50 more but you won't have any problems. The only workaround is to set the Energy Saver option to Never, but you can leave the Display Mode option as it was. In other words, you're just waking up your monitor, but your computer is running all the time β€” except that you're turning your computer off and back on every time you need or want to use it, which is a bit awkward. Sorry but I had to return because of these issues.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Functionality
