Crucial RAM CT2KIT51264BF160BJ 8 GB Kit (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Laptop Memory

PROs+ cheap+ great price/performance ratio+ works as advertised (in both laptops and micro PCs such as the Intel NUC)+ relatively cool+ good build quality+ no aggressive smell as no-name RAM which is used in many budget laptops and tablets these daysCONs- blister packaging could be a bit shorterALTERNATIVES: Kingston Value RAM, Samsung RAM (both are more expensive and have the same quality and performance)

So far, very pleased. Here are some tips if you're considering buying new SODIMM RAM.This RAM set was to breathe a new lease of life into an Acer E5-511 laptop that only had 4GB of (very poor, according to benchmarks) performance. To my surprise, the exact same Kingston RAM is available on amazon which I verified by serial number. Kingston acr16d3ls1kfg/4G Apple DDR3 1600MHz 4GB SODIMM Laptop RAM. If you've got this yourself, you should be fine.-------------------------------------Using dmidecode info or otherwise, QUADRUPLE check that your replacement RAM modules are suitable to the previous. Check the power requirements, the number of pins, dual/single ranked (how many black rectangles you can see).* This ram and it's precedent were '12800 204 pin SODIMM'.* The processor of this laptop only allows a max RAM speed of 1333MHz, so buying anything rated higher than 1600MHz is pointless without the facility to overclock it to run at lower latencies along with the speed cap.Please, check your processor limitations so as not to waste money on flashier speeds that are unattainable.* According to my processor's manual (search online), it will allow a maximum of 8GB total split between 1 or 2 channels, with both SYMMETRICALLY dual or single ranked to specific requirements. (Bit meh, but 8GB is fine for its purpose).*The original RAM is DDR3L like this crucial set, meaning it will happily operate at 1.5v (the standard if there is no way to configure it in the BIOS to use otherwise) or 1.35v. Some DDR3 runs at 1.65v which will be a problem, but the spec for DDR3 says 'must work at 1.5v'. Buying DDR3L means you're good to go at normal or less power.*There is much less risk buying 2 new modules as part of a kit than introducing 1 new one to the 1 existing and hoping for the best. If both have different power requirements, the higher operating voltage will be used for both.*In general, dual channel (having 2 sticks of ram) is better for performance than one stick (single channel) by improving bandwidth. (2 x 4GB > 1 x 8GB). And as for rank, dual rank is simply cheaper to manufacture than single rank - functionally, there is only a slight chance of having to run at slower speeds with dual rank (but this is irrelevant in my case, being locked to 1333MHz max). It just so happened to be that a set of single rank was cheaper at the time.-----------------------------------------------------------------SODIMM RAM is deceptively small. I panicked a little when I saw it (cautious), but it's precisely as big as it needs to be.For a 204 pin module, there is a string of pins approx 4.25cm in length, then a 1mm gap followed by 2.4cm of pins (measured edge to edge of bottom).Remember also that if you're still on a 32bit operating system (!) that the OS will only be able to use 4GB max, and you'll need to upgrade your OS/kernel.I do wish my processor wasn't so limited and the BIOS not so impeding as to stop me from altering voltages as you can very simply on a desktop, but such is life. 4GB of high latency RAM upgraded to 8GB (~7.7GB usable) dependable Crucial. Looking forward to seeing how it lasts. I paid £47 Jun 2017 "used - like new" in original packaging which isn't too shabby.

Upgrading your RAM for your laptop or PC is highly recommended. I bought these RAMs to upgrade my current RAMs for my laptop and they have breathed new life in my laptop. Programs opened up instantly as did the chrome and edge browsers. So thank you to the seller and Amazon for making my purchase online a breeze. A++

8GB (2x4GB Single Ranked) Worked perfectly in my QNAP TS-251+, Stock upgrade from 2GB to 8GB for £45. Vastly improved the performance of the Linux based VM I was running on the box. I was dubious as to if this would help, because the rest of the NAS worked perfectly, however, I can now autostart the VM and am not limited to 512MB on that with the 1.5GB left for the OS.

Upgraded my iMac 27 (2017) to 40GB RAM with this kit. Massive speed improvement working with video and photo files. Easy to install, too, using the little access hatch on the back of the computer. Would recommend this RAM along with a Samsung X5 Thunderbolt 3 external drive to put maximise the performance over the stock fusion HDD on the iMac.

What can I say other than this was recommended for my All in one PC by the manufacturers website. The quality looks good and seems durable, other reviewers have given good remarks and performance information, therefore I was content with this purchase. The new installed amount of RAM in my system is noticeable in performance increase.Cheapest way to keep your system up to date and running smoother and fast..

Arrived next day (prime) I tend to do more work with Adobe these days and whilst the all I one Acer I use was coping I thought to upgrade the memory ...it came with 4 Gb as standard... I already see a big difference I think next is to swap out the hard drive for an Ssd and keep this relatively low spec PC going for some time to come.All in all a quick fix for now for not a lot of money

Minimal packaging, which is good. Memory installed quick and easy and works without error. Around half the price of the same memory direct from the Crucial Web site, so a very good deal.

Updated a Gateway all-in-one computer by doubling the RAM and changing out the old style hard disk for an SSD. The computer now works very well and since it has Windows 10, should last a few more years. As soon as I turned the computer on the 8 gigs of memory was recognized.

doet wat het moet doen zonder problemen

Il prodotto è imballato in modo idoneo, è di facile installazione (la difficoltà dipende molto anche dalla posizione delle slot all'interno del pc portatile).Funzionano correttamente, ho notato la differenza una volta avviato il pc con la nuova RAM.Nessun problema di riconoscimento da parte del BIOS e della scheda madre.

Funktionieren vorzüglich. Aber nicht mit allen Laptops. Im ersten wurden sie im BIOS zwar erkannt, aber Windows konnte nicht mehr hochfahren. Im 2. Laptop alles ohne Probleme.
