Review on πŸ’Ύ Crucial 16GB DDR3/DDR3L 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) Memory Kit - CT2KIT102472BD160B by Jay Koterba

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works great on my FreeNAS server with ASRock C2750D4I MB

Perfect for my FreeNAS build. This is ECC server memory, which makes it slightly more expensive than standard desktop memory. If you have a server-class motherboard and are planning to build a NAS, you really should go for ECC storage. Otherwise you are seriously risking your data. There are many articles on Google that explain why this is the case. I didn't believe it at first but I'm glad I spent the extra money. The motherboard I used this memory on is an ASRock C2750D4I Mini ITX. I'm not sure what to attribute to this memory, but my system worked fine for me. I even use it for live transcoding with Plex and it doesn't skip a second, even with 2-3 HD streams. Please check the compatibility list for your MB before purchasing. Crucial also has a good compatibility search tool on their website.
