The OWC Garage Sale ROCKS!
September 29, 2018
Bought this RAM with a Mac Pro 4,1 that will eventually get a Westmere processor that will allow it to use faster RAM. While I was a little bummed that there wasn't an even number of sticks available, getting the two I did buy at such a great price made it an easy decision to buy.
I've used OWC RAM for years, as I know that it will ALWAYS work in my Macs. Sure, it can be more expensive than the junk that you find elsewhere, but knowing that it's guaranteed for life and that it's tested and guaranteed to work in my Macs makes it all worthwhile.
Thanks a bunch, OWC! I'll be watching for more of this in future Garage Sales!

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!

Works very well. Upgraded from 16gb 1066mhz. My 2009 MacPro 4.1 to 5.1 6 core 3.46 ghz works super fast and stable. 3 Dimms is the fastest setup.

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

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) DDR3 ECC PC10600 1333MHz SDRAM ECC 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! This review is from 128.0GB (8x 16GB) DDR3 ECC PC10600 1333MHz SDRAM ECC for Mac Pro 'Nehalem' & 'Westmere' models.

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!

MacBook Pro memory at Max
July 24, 2016
When I ordered my new MacBook Pro from Apple, I planned on immediately pulling the memory and putting in the maximum it would hold. This is the best cost-effective approach. I also pulled the 500 gig. HD and replaced it with a 1 TB making my MacBook Pro ready for editing high definition video. Very satisfied with the approach I took. You can learn how to do it I watching the videos on the OWC website. This review is from 32.0GB (4x 8GB) DDR3 ECC PC3-10600 1333MHz SDRAM ECC for Mac Pro 'Nehalem' & 'Westmere' models.

Good priduct and exceptionnally good customer service
March 30, 2016
My experience was buying this 24Gb RAM ugrade for my MP 5,1 6-core 3,33Ghz, which I had been looking forward for a long time (also highly upgraded the GPU last month). The product is as mentioned, was installed and works like a charm (although I believe I was already confortable with 12Gb of RAM, I noticed some RAM page outs lately using Photoshop CS 6 / Capture One / Firefox). Now what happened is that the package got stolen in my mailbox and that it was difficult for either service (OWC/Macsales and the French postal service) to assume responsability for this theft. Nevertheless, having proven my honesty in this situation, Macsales took it to them to send me another pack, at the one and only condition I accept DHL (and the customs fee, about 1/3 of the total price in the end, but still worth it). I must pay total respect to the quality of the customer service here which helped me from A to Z. Cheers ! And to those that order from EU for example, I strongly recommend using the trackable and person to person delivery exclusively. Too much theft in mailboxes in Paris these days !

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.
I would recommend this item to a friend!
