Review on Kingston Technology HyperX HX316LS9IBK2 16 by Roger Alexander

Works with an early 2011 17 " Macbook Pro

Works with an early 2011 17" Macbook Pro. The memory works well. I upgraded my Mac to the actual (unannounced) limit of 16GB (Apple's official documentation says the maximum is 8GB, which is not true). Also, it's a speed of 1600, which is faster than the 1333 that originally came with the Mac, and works fine. This upgrade, along with the SSD, will greatly increase my Macbook's performance and allow for another 2-3 years of use (and make OS X upgrades with more memory more attractive). Update 01/31/2015: Installed over 2 months, still works fine, no crashes. Very happy with this choice for Macbook storage. I have since upgraded from OS X Lion to Mountain Lion (10.8), still no memory or SSD issues (Samsung Evo 840 1TB).

Pros
  • Looking forward to it
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
