Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2019 - works well.

Everything stable, everything works fine. I have no before and after experience. I swapped out the memory as soon as I received the laptop. I don't overclock or try anything. Stability and free memory are more important for my applications than pure speed. A note on replacing the memory on the Razer Blade 15 Advanced 2019: There is a nasty ribbon cable on one of the RAM sticks that needs to be removed.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • I will write later

Huge Savings on Apple Storage Prices!

I recently bought a 27" iMac and was dying to have it with at least 32GB of RAM for Lightroom and Photoshop CC. Apple charges an additional $500 to upgrade iMacs from base 8GB to 32GB and upgrading from standard iMac delays the ship date. So I ordered a pre-configured standard 8GB iMac and ordered an additional 32GB from OWC. It only takes 10 minutes to install RAM and my iMac is now 40GB (8GB from Apple + 32GB from OWC) and I saved $300 compared to Apple's price for 32GB RAM!

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • Expensive insurance

40GB works! How it worked for me 27 " iMac with Retina 5K display.

Using the available Apple 8GB RAM. The screen faces down with the stalk of the large Apple logo pointing away from you. Start at the top slot and work Proceed down Install in this order Slot 1: 4GB Apple Slot 2: 16GB OWC Slot 3 4GB Apple Slot 4: 16GB OWC This worked for me! If everything is done correctly , your iMac will boot with no problems. Go to About This Mac, Storage. At the top you should see two 16GB slots. This also worked for me. Tried the reverse and got a prohibition sign on boot…

Pros
  • Keeping my Fists
Cons
  • Poor guide

Retina 5K iMac 2019 memory upgrade - flawless

Great support from OWC after bad experience with Corsair Vengeance memory. OWC RAM worked great on my machine and I felt confident ordering after a bad experience with Corsair. Corsair was advertised at 2666, but that could only be achieved with overclocking, otherwise it would get stuck at 2400MHz and also slow down the rest of my iMac's RAM. The OWC support was friendly and competent. I bought a 16GB stick to use with the original 2x4GB sticks and they said it would be fine although the RAM…

  • Satisfied so far

WILL NOT WORK IN 2019 iMAC 27 " 3.0GHz i5

OWC Follow the online instructions (it's not difficult but you must know what you are doing). The computer would not start. On tried different ways (e.g. other slots). Nothing changed. I called Apple, they offered to reset the Apple the next day, try again with new RAM to let the computer get used to its original memory can (okay).After I put the Apple RAM back in, it booted with no problems and I installed all the usual software.The next day I tried installing the OWC RAM again."Again it…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Some cons

The OWC RAM was dead on arrival but then.

Four sticks of 16GB RAM arrived at the nearest Revain locker and I was so excited to see what my new 2019 27" iMac with 64GB RAM was for about 1/3 the price Apple RAM would make OEM. But my excitement quickly turned to frustration when the iMac failed to boot with the new RAM. I was ready to set up a return with Revain but decided to call OWC tech support first. Phone call. He said he's in the northwest suburbs of Chicago and I'm grateful for ON THE SHORE's support. Darrin was pleasant…

Pros
  • Finally bought it
Cons
  • Slightly dented

OWC memory not working with Apple memory installed

10/02/19 Unfortunately I should have realized something seriously wrong with this memory when I couldn't get it to work with Apple memory could Furnished. My iMac started freezing and randomly restarting every 30-90 minutes and eventually got to the point where it wouldn't start at all. Removing the OWC storage and replacing the original Apple storage brought my iMac back to life. I've talked about handling OWC for RMA and memory swaps, but this was my second bad experience with OWC hardware in

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • For seniors
