Review on πŸ” Samsung DDR3 RAM Memory Upgrade: 16GB (2 x 8GB) for 2012 Apple MacBook Pro, iMac, Mac Mini by Steve Hardy

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I've seen conflicting reviews but this works great!

I was hesitant to purchase as there were so many conflicting reviews online. Mid 2012 MacBook Pro. is 16GB of RAM required (although Apple says it will accept a maximum of 8GB)? Answer: YES, the mid 2012 MacBook Pro A1278 will have 16GB of RAM. and use it! I installed this service pack on 16GB and it recognized all 16GB, then I tested it by opening many, many programs until the "Activity Monitor" showed that 11GB of RAM was in use! I was afraid it would drop to 8, but that didn't happen! It's monumental as I use Logic Pro and only had issues with 4 gigabytes. Now everything works fine and my laptop works better than when it was new! This upgrade is worth the money! Very happy!
