Easy Upgrade For 2018 Mac Mini
Okay. So this just came today, and I installed it in about 30 minutes while watching the 9to5mac upgrade video and being extra careful. Everything was honestly very straight-forward and fairly easy for anyone who is comfortable with tools in their hand. The screws are, of course, small, and can take a steady hand. I highly recommend a magnetic driver for this. Also, I haven't read this anywhere yet, but I noticed that there was blue Loctite on almost every screw I removed, so I added a drop to each one of those screws before replacing. This may not be necessary, but Loctite is cheap, so why risk it? Blue Loctite is made hold things in place, yet still be removable. Once you remove a screw however, it should always be re-applied. Just because you can still see it on the screw, doesn't mean it's still going to hold. It's also very useful on anything else you may assemble that vibrates, moves, or bears weight. Basically any screw that you think has a chance of backing out over time. I personally don't want one of those tiny screws on my expensive Mac falling out internally and damaging/destroying electronics, so I'm surprised this isn't suggested ion any of the upgrade videos/articles I've looked at. I struggled the most with plugging the antenna cable back in (fingers too big?), but got it to go after a handful of attempts. I also used an iFixit tool kit that I purchased here on Amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/iFixit-IF145-299-4-Driver-Bit-64pc/dp/B0189YWOIO/ref=sr_1_5?crid=385H6QIPQLVSQ&keywords=ifixit+essential+electronics+tool+kit&qid=1561248330&s=gateway&sprefix=fixit%2Caps%2C150&sr=8-5This is a very solid tool kit that I will get a lot of use from. Highly recommended. This RAM was accepted instantly by my Mini and has made this thing blazing-fast. In summary, for about 30 minutes of your time and $130, you get $600 worth of factory speed on your new computer. If your clumsy, rich, or both - just pay Apple when you build your Mac. If you have a basic ability with tools, and a steady hand - this is a no-brainer. I'll definitely update this review if I see any problems with my computer going forward, but as of now, 5 stars.

BEST BANG FOR YOUR BUCK
I put these sticks of RAM in my HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop DKxxx2 and it helped it out ALOT!!! I couldn’t play COD before because my 8GB factory RAM couldn’t keep up. Can’t beat this upgrade for the price.

Helped a lot for video editing with DaVinci Resolve
I have a Dell XPS 9570 with 500gb storage and 16gb of RAM. I often film in 4k 30fps. Whenever I was editing with DaVinci Resolve my timeline would stutter and I've been dealing with it for years. I just dropped this new ram in today and I wish I did it forever ago. No more timeline stuttering. It works awesome and it will save me tons of time during the editing process. So ya, if you have the same setup as I do and want a better computer experience overall. Get this ram. Now I'm deciding if I want to get 1tb of Samsung SSD.

No worries with Crucial RAM. It just works!
I never have any issues with standard Crucial RAM, and it's my go to choice when upgrading a laptop or advising clients who are upgrading their systems. No frills or RGB lights, just consistent performance and reliability at a decent price. Given that RAM is one of the most important components to consider when building or upgrading a system, I steer clear of less expensive options from other companies. Crucial is a consumer / SMB brand of the company Micron, the world leader in memory manufacturing.

Perfect with my synology DS1522+
I used this ram for my Synology DS1522+ and had no issues. My NAS didn't even give me a warning about unsupported ram. Been using it for when I need to launch a VM and had no issues so far.

Perfect for 2018 Mac Mini
The Ram sticks came earlier than expected and install was honestly pretty easy. Definitely buy this with the iFixit essentials kit if you plan on doing a Mac Mini upgrade and don't have the tools to do it. It's literally just another 20 dollars.Bumping this machine up from 8 gb of ram to 32 gb of Ram makes a huge difference in performance. Tasks are a lot smoother with the 32 gb of ram.On thing to note though, is that the 2018 Mac Mini will still have below average graphic performance even with this Ram upgrade, so if you want to really take it to high gear, you should look into buying an affordable external GPU. If you want the best graphics performance with some additional USB ports, either buy one of the Black Magic eGPU's or buy the Razor Chroma eGPU. But, if you want something that is more lightweight and portable with slightly above average graphics, I would recommend the Sonnet Breakaway Puck 560 or 570 models. The 560 is conviently is available on the Apple website, the 570 you'd have to buy on the Sonnet website.

Working Great in a Dell Inspiron (5570), but Doesn't Run at its Full Potential.
Great value and relatively easy installation.Dell specifies 2400mhz DDR4 memory (PC4-19200) for my laptop, but Crucial listed this kit (32GB DDR4 2666 (PC4-21300) as being compatible. Having had good experience with Crucial's memory kits, I opted for this kit over the OEM recommendations. I can confirm that it works great, with one caveat; the memory only runs at 2400mhz in my Inspiron 5570, instead of at it's rated speed of 2666mhz.From what I can tell, it is a built in limitation of the laptop (not the memory modules). My laptop's BIOS doesn't allow me to adjust the memory settings, and they appear to be hard coded by Dell to not allow adjusting the memory settings. For me it's not that big of an issue, as this kit was actually a few bucks cheaper than the OEM specific 2400Mhz 32GB kit that Crucial offers as well.
