#OWC MAC MEMORY PRO#
Apple will be more expensive (by quite a bit) but I very likely won’t have to deal with random crashes.With frustration growing around Apple's decision to replace all I/O ports on the new Macbook Pro line with USB Type-C, several companies are pushing new dongles, hubs, and docks on the market. I’m just going to either try OWC or Apple. I figure that, at best, they’ll just send me more modules that can’t take the heat of a Mini. I called and they worked me through the standard process before saying, “You’ll need to call level 2 support during business hours at this point.” I never did. I put the new Crucial memory modules back in and it immediately started crashing again. No crashes at all with the original Apple memory. I sent the 16GB modules back to Crucial and they replaced them about 2 weeks later, free of charge. I finally took the Crucial memory out and put the original Apple memory back in (4GB – Ugh). It took me a while to figure out why my Mac was crashing multiple times per day. I bought it in December and didn’t have a problem until things started warming up. I recently bought some memory for my Mac Mini and it is not very heat tolerant. I’ve been dealing with Crucial, without issues, for 15+ years. Last month I was upgraded my RAM and SSD in my new macbook pro and I ordered the RAM from OWC and the SSD from Crucial. The other place I’d suggest to buy RAM from is OWC. (Crucial is the name of the shop!)Ĭheck them out at They even have a little program here that you can download and it works out what computer you have and then pops you onto their webpage on the page showing the memory you need to buy! If you can recommend a good reliable MAC RAM supplier leave the details in a comment below!Īfter much trial I have found a very reliable source of Mac RAM to be ‘Crucial’. You can buy RAM that is the right speed (eg 667 MhZ DDR2 FB-DIMM etc) but it still won’t work. It’s not that you need ‘Apple’ memory, but you do need high quality RAM with certain specifications that are not obvious so you need to buy from someone who knows the differences. Here’s a reliable place I have found to buy RAM that works well in your Macintosh. In case you haven’t yet realised, Apple Memory is different to normal PC RAM, so if you go to a cheap PC shop or ebay and buy some memory it probably won’t work in your Apple computer. You can replace it yourself, but you need to be careful where you buy it from.
