Review on Timetec 32GB KIT(2x16GB) DDR4 2666MHz Non-ECC Unbuffered Desktop Memory RAM Module Upgrade (32GB KIT(2x16GB), 1.2V CL19 2Rx8 Dual Rank, 288 Pin UDIMM) by Timothy Louis

An excellent choice for cheap, reliable storage for everyday use, not meant for gaming!

Delivery was fast even during this Covid19 epidemic, even a day earlier than I expected. Once it arrived, opening, unpacking the box, and opening the package that contained the RAM took longer than actually installing the Acer Aspire on my desktop. All in all, with the additional 16GB of storage, it probably took less than 10 minutes from delivery to launch. maximum 32GB. After installation, the boot time of my Debian-based Linux distribution was noticeably faster, as was the time it took for it to automatically login. In addition, the time required to launch multiple applications and run them simultaneously has increased significantly. For example, before I added this RAM, I could run multiple applications at the same time, but each application caused the computer to freeze a bit each time. Now I can run VLC, Firefox with YouTube playback, GIMP, Inkscape, my terminal, and Libreoffice without noticing any lag. This RAM is a great budget add-on that makes using my computer faster and more reliable for everyday use as well as coding, watching videos, playing music, graphic design here and there, etc., etc. etc. If you have additional RAM for the purposes I have described that 16GB suits your needs perfectly. I assume the same is true if you want other Timetec sizes like 4GB, 8GB and 32GB for desktops and laptops. I don't think they make individual flash drives larger than 32GB, but they make kits of 1x4GB, 2x4GB, 4x4GB, 1x8GB, 4x8GB all the way up to 8x 16GB and 4 x 32GB, each offering a whopping 128GB of RAM. .Also, all these different sets are quite cheap. As I said above, they might not be the best when it comes to RAM like HyperX, Corsair, Patriot or G.Skill, but in the end you just need an inexpensive, easy to install and reliable memory, this Timetec Hynix IC 16GB DDR4 2666MHz RAM is perfect. I also believe that many other kits made by Timetec will also meet your needs at a good price and with reliability!
