Quality


I've used crucial before on other macs (mbp and mini) and have always found the quality to be good for the price.


Easy to install, high quality and very good value.


I'm very happy with the performance of the imac now - 40gb should be more than enough for my current statistical analysis and c...  Read More


I bought these to upgrade the ram on my imac (2017) which came with the basic 16gb (2 x 8gb).

Price


The memory does what it says on the box and the price is excellent.


Bit of,a bargain at this price, (£125), bought to upgrade a recently purchased imac.

Packaging/appearance


Although the imac 27 has a hatch at the back of the screen to make ram updates easy, it was a little trickier than i had expect...  Read More


The boards are easy to install (you have to be firm when pushing in the cards otherwise the imac won’t restart).

Competitiveness


4 ghz quad-core intel core i5 supplied with 8gb ram.


It was becoming unbearable slow and unresponsive to typing and general functionalitythe installation process was simple, quick ...  Read More

    If you use apple computers youll know that they charge exorbitant prices for ram which has to be installed by their technicians on most but not all of their computers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Apple would charge me £600 for 32gb of this ram whereas crucial will sell me exactly the same apple approved 32gb of ram for £140

    Upon starting the imac came on but gave a permanent black screen

    I then tried to reset the nvrampram as others have explained but this didnt work


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I actually thought that this had failed again and whilst trying to find the crucial helpdesk number realized that the imac flickered to life


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    As such i think a degree of patience is required for the mac os to recognize the new ram upon first installation


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Never had this problem with either my mbp or mac mini but then again these were straight replacements whereas this was to install new memory into the 2 empty slots of the imac
