## Description

in Short, 204-pin Small Outline Dual Inline Memory Modules (sodimms) Are The Form Factor Used To Provide Ddr3 Memory Modules For Notebook Computers And Other Small Form Factor Computing Platforms. 204-pin Sodimms Are Currently Available In Pc3-8500 (ddr3 1066mhz) And Pc3-10600 (ddr3 1333mhz) Speeds. To Use Ddr3 Memory, Your System Must Have Both A 204-pin Sodimm Slot And A Chipset That Supports Ddr3 Memory. A Ddr3 Sodimm Will Not Fit Into Ddr2 Or Ddr Memory Sockets. (information About Which Memory Technology Your System Uses Is Included In The Crucial Memory Advisor Tool. Sodimms Are Smaller And Thinner Than Regular Dimms, And The 204-pin Sodimm Pcbs Are Always ~2.6 Inches Long And Are Usually Around 1.18 Inches High (though The Heights Can Vary Slightly). They Consist Of A Number Of Memory Components (usually Black) That Are Attached To A Printed Circuit Board (usually Green). The Number Of Memory Components On A 204-pin Sodimms Printed Circuit Board (pcb) Can Vary, But The Pcb Will Always Have 102 Pins On The Front And The Back Both, For A Total Of 204 Pins. The Gold Pins On The Bottom Of The Sodimm Provide The Connection Between The Memory Module And The Memory Socket.

Review: Late 2013 27" iMac Compatible - I replaced an older iMac with a Late 2013 27" iMac (3.2 GHz i7, GTX 780M 4GB, 1.28TB Fusion Drive) with 16GB of RAM in November. I planned on upgrading to the max 32GB of RAM at a later date. I held off upgrading due to mixed messages about the differences between the Crucial RAM desertcart was selling here and the recommended RAM on Crucial's website (which was more expensive). It seems like the dust had settled so I ordered two individual 8GB modules since the price was slightly less than the two-pack package at the time. Although I had concerns about fit, etc., my main concern was voltage requirements since higher voltage generally means more heat; heat being an enemy of electronics, particularly computer components. My understanding is that my particular model of iMac employs 1.35v RAM. Crucial's website specifically states that their recommend RAM is 1.35v. The Crucial RAM desertcart sells here is listed as 1.35v/1.5v. Just prior to ordering I contacted Crucial directly to be sure the RAM desertcart was selling was compatible with my model of iMac. MY EMAIL TO CRUCIAL: "Hello, Can you please tell me what the difference is between Crucial Part Number CT4951624 and Crucial Part Number CT2K8G3S160BM? Specifically I want to buy a 1.35v model. Part Number CT2K8G3S160BM is listed as 1.35V/1.5V. Thank you very much!" CRUCIAL'S REPLY: "Thank you for contacting Crucial. I have looked at both of the part numbers you sent in your email, and these are actually the same. The difference between the number CT4951624 and CT2K8G3S160BM is that the smaller one tells us that CT2K8G3S160BM is guaranteed compatible with your specific system. The longer part number, is considered a general part number that can be compatible with thousands of types of computers. That smaller number can vary from system to system, but the the general part number will not change. Essentially, CT4951624 simply tells us that this module is compatible with your system. Regarding the voltage, the fact that it is listed as 1.35v/1.5v means that it will work with either voltage. So, if you are looking for a module compatible with 1.35v you can buy that part. Additionally, if you were looking for one that worked at 1.5v this part would still be compatible. I hope this information has been helpful. " I also read several reports about the Crucial/desertcart modules being hard to seat...needing some force to get them in. Mine slipped in without any pressure at all, a perfect and easy fit. Other reviewers also mentioned having to wait a long time for a reboot or having to reboot twice with the Crucial/desertcart RAM. My iMac booted up normally the first time. So Crucial may have changed some of the specs from what was being sold here early on. SUMMARY: Since installing this Crucial RAM my iMac has been running flawlessly. So based on my personal experience the Crucial RAM being sold here by desertcart is a perfect fit! I'll update my post should I run into anything unusual. Hope that helps anyone that follows!
Review: Super easy to install and works great! - Crucial is a great RAM. First time iMac'r and instead of paying Apple $200 more to go from 8gb to 16gb, I got this ram verified specs with Apple. It took literally 2 mins's to add this ram to my iMac. When I turned it back on, my iMac instantly recognized the ram and calculated 16 GB. I wish PCs were that simple.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: late 2013**
A: yes the 27 inch imac will take this type of ram.it can take a total of 32 gigs in 4 slots(8 gigs each slot)if you choose to max it out but 16 gigs is plenty.the 21.5 inch imac is non user replaceable.

**Q: is this compatible with the latest "iMac with Retina 5K display"**
A: I bought 16GB of RAM for my 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K that I purchased in Dec of 2014.  It's working great!  As others have said, install in slot 2 and 4.  Basically, I didn't take out the original RAM from Apple and just inserted the ones I purchased.  That's it.  It was good to go.  I upgraded from 8GB to 24GB.

**Q: Is this compatible with the Macbook Pro 2.6GHz i7 (Mid 2012)?**
A: I think you have the 15-in model. I have the 13-in. Both mid 2012 are using ivy bridge circuitry means that memory kit can run just fine with your macbook. I still am running this kit for 15 months now with no issues.

**Q: Will this work in my mid 2010 13" Macbook Pro?**
A: Contrary to the "yes" answer, it does not work with the mid 2010 MBP. Look for 1066 MHz for compatibility. I know because I tried this item with my MBP, and had to send them back.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super easy to install and works great!
*by A***A on December 8, 2015*

Crucial is a great RAM. First time iMac'r and instead of paying Apple $200 more to go from 8gb to 16gb, I got this ram verified specs with Apple. It took literally 2 mins's to add this ram to my iMac. When I turned it back on, my iMac instantly recognized the ram and calculated 16 GB. I wish PCs were that simple.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works like a charm in late 2012 27" iMac
*by D***R on March 31, 2013*

I missed the good RAM prices by a few hours in early March, coming across them right after the 2x8GB Crucial kit (long official name: Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3-12800) CL11 SODIMM 204-Pin 1.35V/1.5V Memory Modules For Mac CT2C8G3S160BM ) jumped from ninety bucks to 105 bucks. I found this item at the same time, and it had also jumped but was still only about 48 bucks a stick. With only one review on this item (compared to the 50 or so on the 2x kit at the time), I was hesitant to buy this instead of the kit, but after extensive research on Crucial's website and others, I was convinced they were the same sticks of RAM and ultimately went for it. I'm glad I did! My 27-inch iMac arrived a couple of days ago, and after a quick shakedown cruise, I swapped out the stock 8GB of RAM for 32GB (four sticks) of this Crucial RAM. I made sure each stick clicked firmly into place, just as reviewers on the 2x kit's page advised. (You do have to push rather forcefully. You'll feel a dull slide/click when it goes into place.) Turned the computer back on and haven't looked back since. Thanks to history I know better than to say things like, "I'll never need a whole 32GB of RAM!" But I WILL say it ought to suffice for a good, long while. In any case, rest assured this is the same stuff as the 2x kit. If it happens to be cheaper than the kit when you're in the market, no reason not to go for this over that (unless you REALLY want to only bother with two plastic cases instead of four).
