Crucial RAM CT16G4SFD824A 16GB DDR4 2400MHz CL17 Laptop Memory

It arrived in simple transparent plastic packaging. Followed instructions on how to install the RAM into my iMac from the Apple website. Make sure you follow the section for the correct model. After restarting my Mac, screen remained dark few seconds longer than usual and the loading screen was also slower. This is normal as the RAM is being initialised. When the machine eventually started, I tested out various apps e.g. photoshop, GarageBand etc and they all ran noticeably smoother. The other test I carried out was to run Windows X on Parallels. On 8Gb RAM it was sluggish. With 24GB RAM it runs as smoothly as if I had run it via Bootcamp. Games which previously were unplayable ran smoothly. For the price, it is amazing value for what it can do for your Mac.

I've been using Crucial Memory products for over 20yrs, and have seen only 2 or 3 failures in all that time. If you use the search tool on the main Crucial Website to find out what works with your system, you cant go wrong. Just make a note of the part number & go shopping.

Apparently easy to install (but I played safe and got a local shop to it for me), there are videos on Youtube explaining how to do so. Doubled my available memory from 8gb to 16gb, I've not noticed any speed difference but thats down to not having it long before I upgraded plus the nearest I get to a 3D game is playing GZDoom, hardly a benchmark I know. I paid a local shop to install this as I also needed them to install and migrate a 1tb SSD drive (Was 128gb) which I subsequently split into 2 partition for Windows 10 & 11. Openshot and DaVinci Resolve have been a lot more stable than when I tried using them on a 4gb Lenovo T410. The machine I'm using only takes one SODIM memory board but for now 16 gigs seems to be plenty for everyday use and the occasional bigger project. I hope to get a few years worth of use out of it anyway.

I bought this for my partner as she has the ThinkPad E580 laptop with only 8GB of RAM. A video on YouTube gave clear instructions of how to remove the backing of the laptop. The RAM can then be easily inserted into the second slot giving a total RAM of 24GB. This has made a huge impact on the performance of the laptop, making start ups, running programs, and general use a LOT smoother. It was glitching and lagging a lot before hand as the CPU and RAM was constantly at 100% performance. According to my partner, the CPU rarely goes over 20% performance. Anyone out there with a laptop that is compatible with this RAM, I would highly recommend it to you. It is worth every penny!

Worked perfectly raised the memory to maximum , it only had 8 GB soldered into main board , increased performance.

Bought this as it was at a decent price and used to upgrade the RAM for a Synology DS920+. Was super easy to install and clicks right in. The additional RAM shows up in DSM perfectly right away with no errors or problems detected. Has been functioning well for a few weeks now.

Synology Diskstations (DS) can be troublesome with memory - Synology only guarantee their own memory will work, and at 5 or 6 times the price - they can go whistle. I tried a mem chip prior to this item, didn't work - I was shouting 'YES !' when this card was accepted and the NAS unit booted up. So the chances are, if you have a Synology and this mem type is correct for your model, then it will likely work - no guarantees though - but it did for my Synology DS1520+

I have an HP Pavilion with 4GB RAM, I installed the CT16G4SFD824A and the miracle happened! No delay for anything, it runs as never before, I can multitasking with two different sound producing programs, internet with more than 8 tabs, Excel and if I want I can open the same time 2-3 folders in File explorer! To do something like that before, I needed 5 minutes just to open all this and then the laptop would crashed... Too much time lost, I should do the upgrade years before.

it worked for lenova ideapad 510 151kb , got all 16 GB memory on board . and along with the 4gb in the fixed slot I have 20 GB for the entire machine

I dont know when i buy it but after years it is working perfectly

Con i NAS di Synology (nel mio caso un DS220+) le memorie supportate ufficialmente sono care; tra i moduli non supportati alcuni non sono compatibili; altri ancora, pur risultando compatibili e funzionando correttamente, vengono riconosciuti dal NAS come non ufficiali, per cui vi ritrovate con un messaggio di avviso all'avvio. Certo, il messaggio può essere "eliminato" aggiornando manualmente il database di compatibilità del NAS. Ma se volete una soluzione pulita ed economica, questo modulo Crucial è perfetto. Il modulo da 16GB DDR4 2400 con sigla CT16G4SFD824A, infatti, non crea nessun tipo di problema: i tempi di boot sono gli stessi di prima e il banco viene riconosciuto senza errori. Con un totale di 18GB di RAM il sistema può essere utilizzato con più tranquillità, ad esempio avviando in contemporanea più macchine virtuali Linux e una con Windows. Al prezzo a cui viene offerto (io l'ho pagata 32€) penso non ci sia niente di meglio.

good quality, works well, competitively priced
