Competitiveness


As always, crucial is the best all around brand for apple's (upgradable) computers.


I first purchased the other competitor ram sticks for my 2020 imac 27 inch computer and my imac kept having a kernel panics.

    Now have both the original apple sticks 2x8 functioning perfectly with the new crucial memory 2x16 for a total of 48g with no issues so revised original review accordingly


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I bought the mintcondition mac off ebay and decided to add some extra memory to the original 16g of ram to allow for more headroom for use with a daw as the activity monitor consistently showed about 14 gigs being used with just a few programs open


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    However soon after installing the mac started acting strangely…whereas the computer was completely mousesilent before adding the new ram after installation the fan would randomly kick on and the mac would seem to be gasping for breath even during nonmemory intensive operations


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was conclusive there was definitely a conflict with this particular ram


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So called crucial directly to get their opinion and they suggested that mostly likely the memory was bad and advised returning and replacing


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    So planning to do just that or try a different brand like kingston…p


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    In the photo the label on the plastic container said “notebook” which initially made me think that i was sent the wrong memory for this mac but the crucial rep said it didn’t matter and should also work for my system
