Pros & Cons
Pros
From a reputable brand, this works as expected. Easy to install. Decent brand at a decent price.
Upgraded a gaming laptop from 8gb to 16gb. Upgrade my ram from 4gb to 12gb. Win10 is a ram hog so decided to upgrade. I am very happy my laptop is working smoothly with extra memory.
Easy to swap out the removable current memory stick in the laptop. Slotted into my dell xps and ran a memory test and all good.
Cons
Crucial website states that this ram is compatable with my version of the laptop, evidentially isn't. Bought in may 2020, failed in jan 2021. Received sk hynix ram labelled as two 8gb sticks, not 32gb as advertised. Will be returning.

If your current ram is slower like 2400mhz then your pc will automatically downclock the ram to 2400mhz or to whatever the slowest speed of your ram is
