This is the memory specifications according to MacTracker:

 

2 - 204-pin PC3-12800 (1600 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMMimage.thumb.png.8bd94e8c31280ec641b5d5a73346059f.png

Any memory that meets those requirements will work.

Hi all,

 

I am planning on doing an upgrade to some mac minis that I am planning on using in a cluster.  The memory on them needs to be upgraded and I am just wondering what brand of memory to use.  I have been doing some research and found that most people recommended Crucial for their reliability, however, they are pretty expensive.  I saw on amazon there was a kit from a brand called TimeTec, but I have not heard about them before.  Does anyone know how reliable this brand is or who is their chip manufacturer?

 

Thank you for any feedback

If you need me to follow up on something, please quote or tag me.
