Pros & Cons
Pros
Very good ram, very good packaging. It comes well packaged. Would recommend.
Ram is probably the easiest thing to add, so it should be straightforward for this upgrade. Took all of 2 minutes to install in the pc, run disk management and formatted the drive.
Ram fits it like a glove. Very fast with gaming. Minecraft still takes it all up when i max out the render distance on a largely used world.
Single sided stick works with intel and amd motherboards. No issues with compatibility at all. Works well with proxmox as a hypervisor running various lxcs and small vms. Bonus for me as i have an i7 raptor lake cpu, it recognises, runs the memory at ... Read More
In summarization this one is still good of value cheaper than all i other famous brand i can find. There is no lots of ddr5 rams for laptops in the market and this is the cheapest one i could find so far. Can't complain at the price of £85.
Highlights
Quality
Purchased to upgrade my hp omen 16 gaming laptop, works brilliantly
Easy to install and worked straight away with no issues.
Before installing these additional 16gb, memory usage bumped along at 14-15gb - 90%+ of what was available.
Purchased this to go into my lenovo legion slim 7i (gen 8) stuck it straight in the spare slot, detected immediately (well, after post.
Price
99 ) and this is excellent price for sure.
The ram was great for the price, loved it will order another 32gb soon.
00 per set of memory i have ever invested in ( the other spare set i purchase i'm going to sell to a colleague).
If you are wanting a quick system, then there's no point in spending if other parts of your system are slowing it down.
Shipping
The ram came very well packaged and fast delivery.
Packaging/appearance
Beforehand i was going to get a 32gb kit from gskill in us as the cas latency was 34ns compared to 40 or 48 for other sodimm dd... Read More
I do wish the packaging has a little more protection as it was just in a plastic sleeve but arrived undamaged.
I would, however - and this is rare - advise a bit more packaging for items of this nature.
Competitiveness
Incredible value for money when compared to the hp alternative, and it works at full speed just like an original hp module.
The increased speed of ddr5 makes a huge difference in performance and crucial is one of the trusted brands - i would never buy... Read More
There is no lots of ddr5 rams for laptops in the market and this is the cheapest one i could find so far.
You pay a little more for the crucial name, but know it should be more stable than its competitors.
