Pros & Cons
Pros
Upgraded the ram in a 2010 imac. Bought two ddr3 1333 mhz ram sticks to upgrade an early-2011 macbook pro. My computer runs at twice the speed now. Not fault of product, fault of imac slot.
Cons
The description in the heading is deceptive. It states 4gb (2 x 8gb), but on second glance the detailed description states each memory bank is 2gb.

I had tried a cheaper brand before using these but the computer wouldn’t boot

I should have read the reviews more carefully i saw that one reviewer said they put 32gb total in the same model too bad i would have bought that but like i said earlier even with 16gb made the mac much faster i only had 4gb originally

I had to use needle nose pliers on the very tip of the memory card corner to force it into the computer

I would suggest that before installing the new ram modules carefully and gently clean the accumulated dust from the ram module receptacles on the computer using a vacuum and small vinyl tube
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Skipping this step could potentially cause dust to become trapped between the electrical contacts upon insertion of the new ram module the trapped dust could disrupt the required electrical contact and cause errors

It took both of us really having to shove to get the modules to click into place
