Review on πŸ’Ύ Timetec 8GB DDR4 2666MHz PC4-21300 Non-ECC Unbuffered CL19 1Rx8 Single Rank 260 Pin SODIMM Laptop Notebook Memory RAM Module Upgrade (8GB) by Demetrius Patsion

Poor memory quality - corrupts RAM, hard drive and eventually OS data content if not recognized.

Due to mostly positive reviews, I decided to buy this inexpensive memory (16 GB x 2 = 32 GB bundle) for my Dell G7. At first everything was much slower, a little suspicious. Then there was the first error when several attempts to install software components on my UBUNTU drive failed. I ended up destroying my UBUNTU OS installation, first corrupting the memory content and thus important OS files (page/swap content). After the system crashed, I also ran BIOS-level memory tests. Result: Critical memory errors. There is at least one other post here reporting the same pattern for this brand of memory - and a corrupted/destroyed OS. If you have bad memory, it will eventually mess up and destroy your operating system files. Beware of risks.

Pros
  • Internal components
Cons
  • Older model
