Cards work great but some were defective and cost over $500 to fix

So, installed these in my little used late 2014 i7 iMac i7. and make sure they fit properly. I closed the memory cover and turned on the computer, the screen kept flickering and went black. Tried another reboot, screen looked fine and I logged in, looked at About This Mac which only showed 16GB out of 32GB. in the slots as soon as I closed the window to shut down the computer to make sure they weren't installed properly - heard a loud pop and the computer turned off and never turned back on…

Pros
  • Don't waste too much time
Cons
  • Gotchas

May cause problems!

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

I am very very happy with OWC

I have decided to go back and actually review OWC because I think they are grossly underrated. I skimmed some of the 1 star reviews to refresh my memory (huh, no pun intended) and I think MANY bad experiences are due to people not doing a thorough research on what they need. I bought 2 x 8GB for my Macbook Pro 9.1 mid 2012 and I will tell you. It's like a new computer. The memory pressure just from running Chrome at 2x2GB was slowly killing me, very slowly, always in yellow and increasing. and…

Pros
  • so far Acceptable
Cons
  • sad packaging

Why didn't I do this sooner

I upgraded this 8.1 Late 2011 13" 2.4GHz MacBook Pro i5 with an SSD last year and saw a huge improvement. But now where 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 needed needed. OWC says what I ordered is compatible with my machine and it definitely recognizes this in the spec check. The system works like a dream. Super easy to install for that…

Pros
  • Many will
Cons
  • Having problems

If you have an old iMac and aren't afraid to ruin it.

Great RAM upgrade for the dedicated with a few free hours. Don't read any further if you're not bored. I've decided to get more exercise during Covid so I installed an iMac in front of my elliptical. The old drive was bad and I figured if I had to open it I could make the best of it. UHHH! That thing doesn't look like my 27. If you have a 27, you have a door in the back that needs to be changed in 2 minutes. If your 21.5 is the wrong year I guess get ready for brain surgery. You need to remove…
