Having read several NUC reviews, memory white papers and reviewed the Intel NUC support site for memory compatibility I realised 16GB NUC memory purchase was the complicated part and i decided on the Crucial (Micron) 16GB 1600MT/s CL11 [CT2KIT102464BF160B] and I can confirm that this works for me...Why?My NUC is UK model (you get a G plug) of Intel Core i5 4250U NUC Barebone with MB D54250WY and BIOSVersion :: INTEL - 19, released 2014.03.03.If you need / want 16GB of memory for your NUC then you might want to be aware of a few things first:1. It turns out that memory compatibility with NUC has many considerations especially on 16GB requirements2. I urge you to look at the intel nuc support site for latest information on bios updates /compatible ram etc3. you need low voltage ram you must get DDR3L1.35v (note the L on the end and check you really are getting 1.35v compatible chips); the crucial chips appear to support 1.35 and 1.5v (i can't confirm 1,5 as my nuc operates 1.35v)4. when you use 16GB (2*8GB) you are running the nuc at maximum performance as both memory slots are populated full bandwidth is utilised and this calls for memory and timings that work in harmony with the chipset of the nuc5. it is possible to go higher than 1600MT/s; and there are review sites claiming success with G.Skill memory however this is not yet endorsed by Intel and I can only say that I stuck at 1600MT/s as the gains reported seem marginal 3-4% in most cases and for me I don't need this on a system I purchased more for the balance of power requirement Vs performance.i won't go into detail here there are plenty of review sites for NUC and other sites that describe how memory functions however for my usage it is important to get memory that works and will prolong the life of all devices as I intend to have a system up for media duties amongst other things (won't be off vary often) so for me I don't want to push the MTBF down (point 5. re:overclocking memory).I hope people looking at NUC find this useful; at this time i didn't see too many people reviewing memory compatible with a haswell nuc.

I've been building custom PC rigs or upgrading stock PC's/laptops for myself, family, & friends for 25+ years as a DIY enthusiast. I usually purchase from Crucial directly but in this instance this RAM kit was a fair chunk cheaper on Amazon. When it comes to (SODIMM) RAM for laptops or mini PC's you really can't go far wrong with Crucial. I always shortlist their kits for comparison on performance, specs & cost with other top manufacturers. Frequently, you really have to do your homework to ensure you're choosing compatible RAM for your hardware or suffer the consequences & expense. Because Crucial have directly retailed their RAM for many years, their website has also had a built in "Advisor Tool" (compatibility checker)for years too. Literally ANYONE can easily find exactly what they need without needing to be an IT professional, DIY enthusiast, or spend endless hours researching their hardware to ensure they're choosing the right kit. (Crucial carry out extensive compatibility checks to save you the trouble). Additionally, I've only needed to return one RAM kit to Crucial out of multiple purchases over the years & I had the replacement within a couple of days. Their customer services are certainly well above par. Otherwise, I've never had a failure from their kit & some of it is still in use having been passed down, etc.I purchased this particular kit to upgrade a new Minix N42C-4 Mini PC/HTPC. It's absolutely ideal for the purpose & it gives me 4x the stock RAM (a considerable boost). My mini PC is coping with everything I'm asking of such a small system & more. As always, this Crucial kit is performing precisely as advertised. I'm very happy with it. Competitive prices & lifetime warranties backed up by their superb customer services make Crucial hard to beat. Depending on your requirements, this is a great kit that can completely transform an older laptop or mini PC, etc.Supplied in no fuss plastic packaging. Would always happily recommend Crucial. 5/5.

The NAS is well constructed and has a very small footprint, so could easily fit in any office space. Is also very quiet and aesthetically pleasing to look at and would not be out of place along side normal hifi/home entertainment equipment, however the blue stripe might not be to everyone's taste and the LEDs may be distracting. All-in-all the hardware for this is well thought out, good options for extension, my only minor complaint hardware-wise is that the plastic cover at the front of the disk trays feels like it could be broken/cracked easily if it were mishandled.The software however may leave you wishing it attempted less. I guess it is designed for novice/non technical users,as it has a quite a fussy multi-modal Windows-eqsue interface which attempts to hand-hold you at every turn, and has applied defaults which it doesn't look like you can disable (e.g. port 80 is tied up but only to be forwarded to by the clunky admin UI). Advanced users will likely find this type of setup frustrating or limiting.Out of the box, it is also quite outspoken, as it likes to verbally announce when some system tasks have completed, e.g. firmware update, RAID changes etc. This type of alert can be switched off, but was a bit of a surprise when it first happened as I wasn't expecting my NAS to start yelping in the middle of the night!However, when I found myself googling if it were possible to get FreeNAS/other Linux OS on this box, I realised this wasn't going to be for me and ended up returning it. Which is a shame as I quite liked the hardware/form factor and have yet to source an equivalent. If you can live with the OS/UI, then it's quite a strong contender for a compact, feature-filled NAS.

This memory was well packaged in a sturdy plasic housing that was easy to open.I purchased this RAM as an upgrade for my Asustor AS5002T NAS which came with just 1 GB pre installed.As usual with Crucial it arrived quickley and fitted easily with no problems, and my NAS immediately saw the 4GB on powering up.Be advised that you cannot leave the supplied 1GB chip in the first slot and add this chip to the second slot as the chips have to be matching pairs. The max total being 8 GB ie 4GB in each Memory slot. Slot one must be occupied.The memory chips are aligned by the cut out slot in the connectors and inserted into the socket at an angle lifting vertically as they are pushed in and engaging with the holding clips into the notches you can see on either side of the board.If you are uncertain there are plenty of clips on You Tube showing the method. Memory is susceptable to static so only hold by the edges and touch any earthed metal before starting especially if you have a nylon carpet etc.Once you have inserted the memory and powered up your equipment should start its power up sequence. If it hangs you have a problem with the memory, it is either incompatible, faulty or not inserted correctly. Try powering off and re-inserting it before going further.I had no problems with this Crucial memory, it looks well made and is functioning fine.As the price is reasonable I highly recommend it.

I've gone through a bit of an ordeal trying out several different kinds of memory modules in an aging ThinkPad T400 before I purchased these. The ones I had tried include Kingston, CSX, and other Crucial modules, all to no avail: none of them would work, resulting only in a beeping sound when turning the device on, and nothing on the screen.Crucial's customer support was kind enough to point me to these modules that are guaranteed to be compatible with my ThinkPad – they're, in fact, the same modules as the ones contained in the CT5311317 kit as suggested by Crucial's compatibility advisor tool on their site, the latter simply being their website-specific code for the same product. As it turns out,while other Crucial modules match these 100% when you look at the specs, they're not actually a perfect match: my laptop needed low-density memory in order to work, and that detail is not included in any specification! Make sure to double-check with Crucial's tech support if in doubt, they have a handy chat tool for that purpose.Instead of ordering directly from them, I went with Amazon, and got the product both cheaper and faster. And it works! Booting into Windows this time was effortless, and it feels like I've gotten a new machine. The modules come properly packaged in their respective plastic cases each, and are well-protected.

I purchased two of these RAM sticks from Amazon Warehouse for my HP Elitebook 840 G1. According to Crucial's own website this RAM is compatible for the intended laptop and I can confirm they do work perfectly and at full speed. The memory units were also in good condition and there were no faults when running Memory Test from the BIOS screen.The only thing that might scare you a little is that the silver holding clips did not sit perfectly on the grooves like the stock RAM provided by HP itself but the RAM is still secure, doesn't move about and connects fully. My system recognised the RAM with no problems at all, I plugged it in and turned on the laptop and that was it.Just a note to those who are new at this,RAM doesn't have drivers so all you have to do is plug it in and that should be it if nothing went wrong. There is no software to install.I'll try to add a picture of the clip later and if someone else made it sit better, please let me know :)Edit: As you can see in the picture (sorry for bad quality, it's the best focus I could get on) the silver clips don't sit in the grooves perfectly and the ridge by the connectors has a gap too. I applied moderate force and did not try to force it into the grooves as I was afraid of damaging it.

After purchasing many Crucial products in the past, this one lives to it's name. Crucial has been known for reliability and value and it certainly shows in this product. The 4GB DDR3 Laptop RAM has been working for around 1-2 months after purchasing and has increased productivity on my laptop by at least 50%. The RAM itself is very easy to install but you must be aware of the specifications of your laptop first before purchasing.These include:Slots availableRAM speedRAM typeWhilst the RAM works at incredible speeds and providing 4GB extra is fantastic, Crucial offers a Lifetime warranty on this product, so there is no need to worry about the product failing.I installed this into my Acer Aspire E1-571 and it instantly solved many of my issues such as lag when opening multiple programs, multi-tasking lag issues and video editing. It runs hot but cool enough to not overheat and is a fantastic addition to a machine that needs that slight boost.Finally, if your looking for some RAM for a laptop that is affordable, reliable and with great customer service... then this is the memory you are looking for.

This is to let everybody know that this ram is perfectly compatible with Dell Inspiron 15 3531 running with processor Intel Celeron N2830 and hard disk 500GB. I spent months to find out how to go from 4GB ram to 8GB ram. Checked out Intel files about the processor, tried to find motherboard specs. Almost all the vendors told me that it was not possible, that I had to stick with 4GB, no options to upgrade. Well, it was untrue. This 8GB ram is working amazingly, the values taken from Task Manager are extremely low, the use of the disk turns from 98% to 12% and the overall performance of the laptop is greatest than it has ever been before. Just use some commonsense when installing: clean the working area,if possible do it on a wood table without any electric appliance on it. Turn off the laptop, take the battery out, press the power button for at least 15 secs to drain all the circuits from any energy residues. Open the panel, wash your hands (yes, you know that!) and do not touch the golden pins both of the old and the new ram. That's it. A relatively small investment to gain a new, powerful laptop.

I recently bought the new TS-251B NAS drive which came with 4GB as the highest RAM configuration but is upgradeable to 8GB officially (16GB unofficially as claimed by many other QNAP users). Since I got a 4GB version of the NAS I wanted to upgrade to 8GB so as to run virtualisation of Windows 10 on the NAS without performance problems. I found the Crucial 4GB DDR3L (Low voltage i.e. 1.35v) 1866MHz, to be compatible and also great value for money. The module recommended by QNAP costs around 80 quid plus shipping whereas this cost me 32 quid on prime next day delivery. I had done some research on other sites and Crucial was highly recommended. The installation completed in a few minutes and the NAS was upgraded to 7.7GB of real usable space.I've been using this module for over two days now and so far have seen no problems. The NAS resource monitor has not reported any issues with memory or performance therein. Everything now is a lot quicker including the web frontend. I would highly recommend this module for QNAP NAS upgrade but do check the RAM type compatibility with your NAS model.

I have a laptop which cost me £160 brand new, a year or so ago. The reviews of it were not good, but I had to look at the price, and I thought that it would run better under Linux than Windows 8.1. I took out the hard disk enclosed and put in a SSD, which at the time cost £60, and installed Linux on it (PCLinuxOS, XFCE desktop). Now I've doubled the RAM by adding this card for under £18. Although identically specified to the 4Gb chip already present, it looks totally different, but as far as the hardware is concerned, it is being treated as a perfect match. For under £240 I've ended up with a laptop with a 15.6" screen, full spec keyboard with separate numeric keypad, and going FAST!!4 stars because it's just a RAM card and what can you expect? But it works!!I ordered this on 25th August using Standard Free Delivery, and it arrived in the post on 26th August, it was supplied by CCL Computers, not through Amazon, so I have to say that the company is good, too!

Does exactly what it says on the tin! I would never buy anything other than Crucial memory because you know what you are getting with Crucial compared to any other brand out there! I initially purchased this just for 2011 iMac which came factory fitted with 4GB, lets face it, with running high end Adobe programs, it was slowing it down, until I installed two sticks of 8GB RAM and boosted it up to a whopping 20GB of RAM. It now runs as though it only came out the box yesterday. It can take a maximum of 32GB so in the near future I will be ordering another pack alongside an SSD to further boost its performance. My second purchase was for my HP Laptop which just so happened to run exactly the same RAM as my iMac which was very fortunate.once arrived I installed it and again my laptop got a great performance boost! For anyone wondering my laptop model is the DV6-6B50sa from HP.Would I buy this again? Yes most definitely for the iMac's final boost!

It took me hours to find the right module for my Mac Mini (late 2012). Most of the modules available on Amazon are sold in pairs (2x4GB, 2x4GB). What I was looking is just one 8GB module to get me through a few tasks I need to get done now and later ( probably after Christmas), add another module.I installed it on top of existing module so now I have 10GB of memory (1x2GB and 1x8GB) Apple recommends not to mix different modules but I can tell you my mac mini runs perfectly with them. I even ran every memory test I found and all came out OK.With OS X Yosemite: I can tell you the memory came just like a blessing. Everything runs better and faster, It starts quicker, the apps launch faster,switching through different spaces is much more smooth and faster. Even encoding videos are 2x faster than before.If your'e on a budget, get this module for your Mac Mini. You won't be disappointed.

Purchased this memory upgrade for my mid-2012 MacBook Pro (13”). It was showing its ages, taking an age to start-up, and being particularly slow when opening applications.I was on the verge of buying a new MacBook, but the very high prices, inability to replace components (I believe they are all soldered in place) and lacklustre reviews put me off. So I researched how to improve the speed, and found it was very easy to increase the RAM. I had 4gb originally, and decided to go for 16gb (Apple recommend a max of 8gb, but again research told me that it could easily handle 16gb). It has completely revamped my MacBook, it starts up in about 25 seconds now (compared to about 4 minutes previously),and opening applications takes roughly 3 seconds.I think this has probably added about 2 years to the life of my machine, and saved me thousands on an upgrade for the time being.

Installed into a Synology DS216+II to upgrade the RAM from 1GB to 8GB, no real need to i just wanted to do it and it gave the server a little extra RAM if it needs it.The RAM arrives well packaged and a plastic shroud to cover the RAM and put the old piece into. It installed perfectly fine, though you'll probably want to follow a guide if you're taking apart the Synology DS216+II, it's not hard you just have to be careful not to damage anything, i believe doing so will void your warranty.The RAM has been working perfectly fine in the server, on 24/7 for around 2 months now and i'm happy to give it a great overall review.I would be happier if the price of the RAM was cheaper given i've been looking at this module now for around a year and the price has never really moved so i would purchase it on a sale like i did.

Product was exactly what I was expecting and it arrived promptly. It was fairly easy to put into my laptop, although I had to push it in further that I thought before pushing it down to clip in. If you're unsure on how to do this there's loads of videos on YouTube of it. The RAM worked perfectly with my Sony Vaio VPCEH1L8E running on Ubuntu OS.For those looking to speed up their laptop, RAM won't make things speed up, it'll just stop them from slowing down. I have noticed having the same number of programmes and Chrome tabs open as before and my laptop no longer slows down. If you're looking to have your laptop run faster then this might not be the addition you need.Look into an SSD replacement for your hard drive or CPU over clock, although this is never advised for laptops due to overheating issues.
