Crucial RAM CT2KIT102464BF160B 16 GB Kit (2 x 8 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz CL11 Laptop Memory

Just installed this in my HP elitebook 8470p laptop which I bought over five years ago. It's now running as if brand new. Easy to install and has upgraded my laptop speed significantly.

Typical good quality you'd expect from Crucial with the correct rated speed detected in bios.Works well with the device chosen despite not being listed for compatibility. Great value at this price.Used this to upgrade a passive ITX machine but is certainly suitable for laptop upgrade too.

High quality RAM. I bought some cheaper ones, but they caused errors on my QNAP NAS.These work perfectly. Worth the extra cost.

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.

I bought the RAM to upgrade my Lenovo T540p from 4GB to 16GB. Fitting the two 8GB modules was very easy via a hatch in the base of the laptop, and there was an immediate improvement in general snappiness. However after ten weeks of daily use, one of the modules developed a fault.Routinely I opened the laptop lid to wake it from Sleep, but instead of leaping into life it rebooted and then crashed to a blue-screen crash with Stop Code: 'Memory Management'. Repeated attempts to boot the machine gave other messages, all memory related. Luckily I'd saved all open files before Sleep mode so I avoided any data loss and I've learned a bit, but system crashes are not pleasant!By elimination I found one of the two RAM modules worked ok but the other crashed every time. Happily Amazon have agreed to a refund (a full replacement was on a long lead time) and I've bought and fitted a single 8GB module as 16GB was probably overkill. So far so good. The replacement is working fine (after one day) so I'm hoping that the failed module was just a rare bad specimen.

Works well I’m my 2012 MacBook Pro with an SSD very fast

fast reliable and works well

I have an old Dell Vostro 3558 which was given to me from my workplace and due to the specs it was showing its age so i needed a quick and cheap way to upgrade my ram. Surprisingly, for its age, this laptop supports up to 16GB ram which is unheard of in a laptop of this age. i tried ram brand called qumox but, despite it being the same spec as the preinstalled memory, it was not compatible with my laptop. i had to return that one then, after researching further i found the exact spec and model of the preinstalled ram. Because, the ram is DDR3, it is really hard to find these days now with the market being dominated with DDR4 and the up and coming DDR5 memory spec.I took the plunge after doing a thorough research and found out that Crucial was the perfect upgrade. Even though this ram spec is hard to find in today's market, i managed to find it, even though it is coming from Amazon EU. After fitting the ram, it perfectly, detected the ram without too much trouble. The laptop had to restart a few times, so it can detect the new ram, and after a restart the laptop detected the ram as 16GB it was the perfect and cheap upgrade to an aging laptop. I am perfectly, happy with Crucial's quality and it worked like a dream. My laptop runs much faster now thanks to this upgrade. Will buy from Crucial again in the future.Some advice to future buyers, if you are looking to upgrade your laptop's memory make sure you buy the exact same spec as your existing memory otherwise, you will have incompatibilities with your laptop. so always make sure you buy the right ram and make sure it is the same as the one your laptop shipped with. also it is worth looking at the laptop's spec like your operating user manual or the laptop's official website as there will be plenty of documentation to help you, to make sure your ram is upgradeable.
