Nice Boost to Memory
July 31, 2020
Recently upgraded my MacPro which also made it possible to bump up the physical RAM. Glad I did. Enjoying the increased capacity. Matched perfectly with the same size modules I'd purchased from OWC Macsales several year ago. Thanks. I would recommend this item to a friend!

Helped my 2010 MacPro
July 3, 2020
2010 MacPro with 64 GB RAM and multiple programs open would periodically get "Run out of application memory" message. Purchased this 128 GB upgrade & no more such messages. (MacPro is 10 years old, but still my workhorse!) I would recommend this item to a friend!

Mac Pro 5.1 Phoenix!
September 11, 2018
This ram kit took my mid 2010 Mac Pro from being an obsolete paper wieght into 2018. I need to mention that I also upgraded my dual processors to Xeon x5690’s at 3.46ghz and threw in a 500gb ssd for the boot volume. These inexpensive upgrades saved me thousands of dollars. My machine is insanely fast now. Thank you OWC for providing quality products at great prices. You are my go to site for Mac hardware. I would recommend this item to a friend!

Worked perfectly!
March 25, 2018
The Mac Pro was sluggish working with large image files, and the increased memory solved the problem. We went from 12 to 96 gigabytes, and the performance increase was dramatic. The memory upgrade actually arrive a day early, which we appreciated. I would recommend this item to a friend!

no issues, it memory
December 4, 2017
Not real hip on doing reviews on mundane items. OWC memory has always been good and good value. Never had a fault. Apple will always give the "need to be Apple Memory" line but OWC is fine and is same or better. I would recommend this item to a friend!

Big deal
June 27, 2017
128 GB is a big deal, I used to have 64 GB memory from Samsung which was great but after installing 128GB my computer runs photoshop and lightroom much faster and almost everything is noticeably faster.

works perfectly! Great for running multiple VMs
June 12, 2017
I am a software engineer running primarily windows (!!) on my 2010 5,1 Mac Pro. I do all of my development in windows under VMware Fusion, running multiple VMs hosting custom application software along with Oracle server. I prefer to host the virtual machines under Mac OS, as the "housekeeping" is so much easier - backups, email, encryption, and so on. I recently bought a 12-core processor tray for my Mac Pro just so that I could have a higher memory maximum - my old Mac Pro had 6 cores and maxed out at 48Gb. I bought the 128Gb memory upgrade and it's quite a luxury to have so much memory available to run multiple virtual machines. The 8 memory boards arrived, and I installed them onto the processor tray. No issues - they just worked. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from 128.0GB (8x 16GB) PC10600 DDR3 ECC-Registered 1333MHz SDRAM for Mac Pro 'Nehalem' & 'Westmere' Models.

Make a monster out of your older Mac Pro
March 31, 2017
Upgraded 2012 Mac Pro 12 Core to 128gb core memory for heavy editing with Final Cut Pro. What an improvement in performance. This 5 year old machine still outperforms most new computers on the market today. This upgrade along with a Nvidia Titan X with 12 gb ram video card cuts movie processing time down significantly.

Super Quality and Easy Installation
February 16, 2017
These were of exceptional quality both in looks and function. I put them in, booted and my running out of memory ended in macOS Sierra. I've used the new memory for some time, now, without a hitch. I'll definitely be back for more upgrades. I would recommend this item to a friend!

OWC Mac Memory - outstanding!
December 20, 2016
I purchased a new dual 6-core Mac Pro computer in mid-2012. from Apple ...the last of its kind. I immediately upgraded the memory to 48 GB. Recently, I upgraded again with OWC and purchased 5 more of these 16-GB memory modules to max-out my Mac Pro to 128 GB of RAM. Wow! It flies through processor/memory-intensive programs like nothing I have ever seen. OWC stands behind their products and I trust them implicitly. This memory is designed and manufactured to the strict Apple/Mac standards and works perfectly. I would recommend this item to a friend!

Happy and great help videos
July 18, 2016
Easy buy, fast delivery and easy installation. Even if you are dumb as me, and don't realize that there are 2 CPUs, thus RAM-slots hidden behind it. The great OWC help video showed that clearly... :D
Since then the RAM works, and works, and works... no issues since about half a year. Highly recommended!

Extremely competent customer service and superb product
March 29, 2016
Prior to purchasing, I had a live chat with a very competent service person who guided me through the intricacies of RAM selection for my MacPro 2010.
I wanted to max out the RAM and the advice I received helped me a lot to secure the correct memory reference for purchase.
Shipping to Europe was a mere matter of days and the RAM worked out of the box providing the announced performance.
I'm very satisfied with both the product and overall purchasing experience.
Definitely recommended to european customer who want competent input prior to issuing an order.

Out with the old, in with the new.
March 1, 2015
I'm a long term OWC customer. My 2010 6-core's 3x 8GB OWC chips needed a memory refresh for Yosemite and the Adobe CC suite. With the purchase of 3 x 16GB chips I received a 3 x $40 credit for my old chips. The great thing about purchasing memory from OWC is support. If there is a problem they will take care of it. No worries. I would recommend this item to a friend!

2 x 64GB in a MacPro Server with ESXi
September 20, 2012
We placed two of these kits in our 2012 (mid-year update) MacPro Server 12 core machine and it runs flawlessly with ESXi 5.1 accessing all 128GB of RAM.
Great aftermarket upgrade in terms of value for money and fast shipping to Australia.
