Type of review

OWC is a great company that also makes great products like these RAM modules. I bought these to get the most out of my Macbook Pro (Mid 2012 15"), ranging from 8GB RAM to 16GB. They're easy to install and work great. Combined with a solid state hard drive, this one is old Macbook still a VERY usable laptop even in early 2019. I trust OWC for everything Apple and Mac related. Don't risk RAM incompatibility or quality issues with cheaper unknown brands. Peace of mind by buying these reliable…

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Vulgarity

May cause problems!

I have a 2012 13" Macbook Pro. I did some research and he said 16GB RAM would be fine and even mentioned that brand. I bought it because my computer had some crashing issues and I thought it might help. I replaced it but it kept crashing so I replaced the hard drive and he went ahead and updated it to the latest IOS. They downgraded it from the update he had just installed ( damn Apple.) And it started to work better but still crashed. So I took it BACK (I explained I had replaced a hard drive…

Pros
  • Well built
Cons

READ THIS REVIEW. if you finally bought Imac 27 inch 5K

1 Inserted cards (correct 16GB from OWC) in slots 1 and 2 after removing 8GB Crucial.2 When Mac boots, emits a soft beep, followed contacted (chat) by a loud buzzing or farting sound .3 OWC support, they told me to clean the contacts with eraser and alcohol and reset the PRAM. It did not work. 4 Reseat the old Crucial cards. Every 90 seconds. Now I'm angry.5 Contacted OWC via Revain support on the phone, let them hear the noise. Tried PRAM a second time and the noise was gone. OK cool! 7…

Why didn't I do this sooner

I upgraded this late 2011 8.1 13" MacBook Pro i5 2.4GHz with an SSD last year and noticed a huge improvement. But now, with the world as it is i need to use my laptop more than ever and it was a problem with the original 4gb ram i ran out of the 16gb but accidentally ordered 1600mhz instead of the 1333mhz, my system requires. OWC says what I ordered is compatible with my machine and it definitely recognizes this in the spec review. The system works like a dream. Super easy to install for that…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Can't remember but there was something
