Description
Kingston is the industry leader in PC memory. Kingston is your best source for system - specific memory. Product is backed by a lifetime warranty and free technical support. Included in the package is one 8GB module of Notebook memory. Specs are 204-Pin 1600MHz Unbuffered SODIMM.
I couldn't get any other kind of RAM to work properly in this computer (late 2012 27" iMac), with 32 GB installed. I tried three other brands, brands you wouldn't normally think of like Komputer Bat, and Adata, and I couldn't get either of them to work when all 32 GB were installed (4 8GB sticks). I would see Kernel Panics and they wouldn't pass a Memtest or Apple Hardware Test unless only two sticks were installed.Only this Kingston ram worked completely perfectly, with all 4 8GB sticks installed. Highly recommended.
It worked perfectly in my MacBook Pro 2012, Core i7 2,3 GHz (not retina). Despite Apple doesn't support 16 GB option, I installed two of this 8GB modules and voila, 16 GB of RAM. I'm also using Windows 7 64 bit on that Mac and worked perfectly too. The performance improvement is noticeable since I now have 4 more times the amount of memory I had and the price is very good.I really recommend this upgrade.Note that this is not a kit of two memory modules. You should purchase 2 of this modules in order to upgrade your MacBook to 16GB of RAM. I also don't recommend to purchase only one of this modules to upgrade your MacBook to 8 GB of RAM. In that case is better to purchase two 4GB modules (KTA-MB1600/4G)
After having a bad experience with cheaper RAM this product worked well. It even worked alongside the existing Apple supplied memory. The Kingston website suggested this being the right memory and model number matched on Amazon. Do remember to buy in pairs this is a single SIM part.
