Rating: 5/5 just works July 19, 2016 I bought this 2*4GB memory to upgrade a mid-2010 iMac from 4GB to 8GB. Works perfectly.

I had previously tried to upgrade this machine from 2*2GB to 4*2GB. After adding 2*2GB to the front two memory slots, the machine began experiencing memory panic. OWC provided me a copy of the "Rember" memory tester, which revealed no problem in any of the 4*2GB DIMMs. I finally concluded that Apple had delivered the machine with a defect in the electronics serving the front two memory slots, so I got rid of all 2GB DIMMs and replaced them with 2*4GB in the back two memory slots. Problem solved! Thank you, OWC, for providing the memory test program.

Rating: 5/5 Absolutely Great! June 2, 2015 I ordered this 8GB to "fill up" my iMac, in response to your having replaced (free of charge) an earlier 8 GB that I had ordered a few years ago. Your warranty policy is top-notch as is your service. To top it off, you guys are practically in my back yard (30-40 miles or so). I would expect you guys to be around a long time.

Rating: 5/5 A Solid Mac Upgrade ! May 1, 2015 I purchased this RAM upgrade for my 5 year old i-MAC. I have been quite impressed with the improvements in speed. I haven't seen the spinning beach ball since the upgrade. It doesn't fix all the issues with a Mac of this age but it helps considerably.

Rating: 5/5 Biggest bang for the buck! April 27, 2015 My first Mac Mini had a measly 1GB of RAM. It was enough to operate and become accustomed to using OSX, but was by no means a speed demon. When I purchased my second Mini, I ordered it with the stock 4GB of RAM. I knew that I could get RAM from any third party supplier at a much cheaper price. I was already paying the "Apple Tax" on the Mini, I didn't want to pay it on the RAM also.

I shopped around online at my few preferred vendors. But what I found when I arrived at OWC through a Google search impressed me. Their website allowed me to drill down my model of Mini to assure that I was buying exactly the right size, type, speed, etc. The installation videos they have available for all of their upgrades reaffirmed that it was an easy process. Their pricing was in line with the other vendors that I normally dealt with; and even provided buy-back for the RAM that the Mini shipped with.

I placed my order, it was shipped the same day and arrived promptly. In five minutes I had performed the replacement. If you're just checking email and browsing the web, you may not notice a big difference. But if you're using Office, Photoshop or Parallels then the bump from 4GB to 8GB will make a huge difference.

You can Google an find several sites that have done performance comparisons. You get the biggest improvement going from 4GB to 8GB, but not much more if you go beyond that. The RAM has now been operating perfectly in my Mini for nearly five years now. I would recommend OWC for RAM, SSD's and just about any other component you need to repair or upgrade your Mac.

Response from MacSales.com, Marketing April 27, 2015 You don't need to go as far as a Google search to see the extra performance more memory can give. Check out our own in-house testing of memory here: http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/apple/memory/Macbook_Memory_Benchmarks

Rating: 5/5 Additional RAM for iMac mid 2011 April 21, 2015 I wanted to expand my 4 GB RAM to 8 GB on each of my two iMacs and this product has worked well. Actually, I took the 2-GB modules from one and added them to one iMac (making 8 GB total (2x4), then I used the new RAM (4x2) to make 8 GB in the other. I have not put this new memory through any special tests but upon restarting the iMacs, they recognized all the memory without a glitch and have been working well since I installed it (units remain powered on) in early 03/2015. I viewed the OWC on-line videos and the installation was easy. I have only purchased additional RAM for my Mac computers over the years from OWC and as best I can remember, I have never had a problem yet.

Rating: 5/5 A mystery solved.... March 27, 2015 Recently, I started getting a message on my IMac stating that my "application memory was dangerously low". This prompted me to download an AP called "Memory Clean" and after running Memory Clean realized it was, in fact, almost non-existent. I ordered an 8.0GB (2x4.0GB Kit) from OWC (an Apple recommended company) and installed it, leaving the two original 2.0GB memory cards in the computer. The new memory was immediately accepted, so now I had 12GB of memory instead of 4.0GBs but it wasn't helping. I went to the Apple Store to find out what else I could do. They suggested taking the old memory cards out and replacing them with the new ones in the first slots. I did that but that didn't help either. I decided to order another kit from OWC so I could have the full 16.0GB allowed on my IMac. This seemed to work but then I began getting the message of low application memory again. This time I decided to look at what might be eating up all this memory and discovered that the Seagate backup, I had running on my computer, was hogging the memory. I unplugged the Seagate and immediately got my memory back. I haven't had the "low memory" message appear again. I am writing this review because it took me a while to figure this out and someone else out there may be having the same problem. OWC product is working extremely well and I was very happy with their service. Amazingly, the second kit I ordered was in my hands in a couple of days without having to pay for shipping. Thank you OWC!

Rating: 5/5 A Lot Of Bang For The Bucks January 10, 2015 Added 8GB to my iMac's 4GB for a total of 12GB - and it makes the iMac fly. Dollar-for-dollar this is the best way to speed up your confuser.

One warning: it takes quite a bit of force to insert each model - much more than you would think. Don't give up.

Rating: 5/5 A seamless fit with my mid-2010 imac November 22, 2014 This was my second attempt to add memory to my older imac (mid 2010). The first attempt was with 16 GB of memory I bought through Best products with assurances that it was the correct item for my imac. It did not work. After avoiding the task, I decided to try again with OWC. I installed 8GB and it went perfectly. Thank you OWC, Jed

Rating: 5/5 Works with Apple iMac November 16, 2014 I was surprised the on-line Apple Store did not sell additional memory for a fairly new computer. However, on the Apple chat lines I continued to see OWC referenced. I checked their website and found a product that has worked flawlessly for over two months and at a very, very reduced price from other sites. I would purchase again with no hesitation.
