Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this Crucial 32GB DDR5 RAM kit from Best Buy to upgrade my Lenovo LOQ gaming laptop, and it worked perfectly. Installation was simple, and the system recognized the full 32GB immediately with no issues. The performance improvement was noticeable right away, especially in multitasking and more help with demanding games and applications. Everything runs smoother, with faster load times and fewer slowdowns compared to the stock 16GB. Great quality, reliable brand, and an excellent upgrade if you’re looking to get more performance out of your laptop. Highly recommended.

Installing the ram sticks was easier than I thought, and my laptop is performing better than before. I recommend getting this product

Ordered to upgrade a gaming laptop and works great! Easy install and haven't had any issues so far. Multitasking never looked so good!

Replaced a 16GB kit with this 32GB in a Victus Laptop, very easy install, and could not be happier with the performance.

I bought this to upgrade from my 8gb ram to something more stable and this purchase didnt disappoint. Setting up was also very easy.

Worked great, no problems at all! I don’t mess around with the 16GB that seems to be the standard for all laptops today.

Excellent ram, it worked well with my Strix G18 4080 with no issues!

Fast and easy installation, only complaint is the fact that the laptop is compatible with certain brands and best buy doesnt have the other speeds

It's worth a bit more to have a consistent and reliable memory upgrade

Great computer RAM memory practically doubled the processing power.

Amazing deal at the time. It's now $250 and i paid $100.

I installed this Crucial 128GB DDR5-5600 SO-DIMM kit (2×64GB) in my Lenovo Legion Pro 7i Gen 10 (16IAX10H) laptop, and the experience has been excellent. The memory worked out of the box with no BIOS tweaks required. The system immediately recognized the full 128GB, and it runs stably at its rated 5600 MT/s. While my laptop supports up to 6400 MT/s, Crucial's 128GB option at 5600 MT/s was the best balance of capacity, performance, and availability. It has been completely reliable. Stability has been flawless. I've experienced no crashes, no blue screens, and no unusual behavior, even under heavy workloads. My usage includes gaming, running multiple demanding applications at the same time, Discord, and many Chrome tabs, and the system remains smooth and responsive throughout. Thermals and fan behavior are unchanged compared to the stock memory. I did not notice any increase in heat or noise after the upgrade. While 128GB is more than most users need today, I purchased this kit for future-proofing, heavy multitasking, and to prepare for future workloads such as running local AI/LLM applications. For power users who want maximum headroom and long-term reliability, this kit delivers exactly what it promises. Highly recommended for enthusiasts and professionals looking for a high-capacity, stable DDR5 laptop memory upgrade.

Ram prices skyward due to ai, needed for a minisforum pc build

I picked up this Crucial 32GB kit to upgrade a laptop and it has been a smooth experience. Installation was quick, the system recognized the full speed right away, and everything has been stable. Performance feels snappier with multiple apps open and the kit runs cool under load. If you need a reliable DDR5 SODIMM upgrade, this one has worked well for me.

Great Crucial reliability Simple black aesthetic Low profile will fit in most laptops Lifetime warranty Higher throughput than DDR4 More memory for RAM hungry applications Not so great High CAS latency than DD4 Out of the box you’ll notice that these SODIMMS have a nice all black look, except the blue Crucial. Of course, you aren’t likely going to see it much in a laptop but if all black internals in your laptop, like some gaming systems, it matches nicely. They have no heatsinks included and no mention of heatsinks. They are very low profile meaning they should have no problem fitting in all but the thinnest laptops. The good thing is Crucial has a compatibility checker on their website to verify if this kit is compatible. The kit is straightforward and offers just the SODIMMS. Installation was extremely easy. The most challenging part wasn’t even upgrading the RAM but removing two stubborn screws from the bottom shell of the laptop. Apparently, some newer laptops now pause for what seems like an eternity when memory is changed, possibly performing extra verification. Upgrading RAM on older laptops only caused a onetime 10 second pause on startup. It isn’t certain if this is laptop specific or something extra in verification with DDR5 but the initial startup after installation on these sticks was a pause with a blank screen for over 3 minutes. No fan noises or boot logo. Just 3+ minutes of keyboard lights and tense silence. Thankfully nothing was wrong, and the system just asked if I was ok with the memory change. After confirming the change, everything went smoothly. These sticks are rated at 5600MT/s but will downclock in a slower system. CAS Latency is 46 which seems crazy high but more common for DDR5 and from reports is offset by the much higher transfer speeds. My gaming laptop is fully compatible so straight after install they were running at the full 5600MT/s. Gaming performance seemed unchanged but most games I play are more GPU bound than CPU bound with the previous 16GB being plenty. Where the upgrade to 32GB has made a difference for me is photo editing. GNU Image Manipulation Program is a nice free tool for photo editing but has a habit of slowing down even fast systems. The stuttering while editing larger photos was also gone. While upgrading to 32GB didn’t make GNU Image Manipulation Program lightning fast it did make a noticeable difference, particularly during the initial load time. The normal pauses that would happen during editing larger photos are all but gone taking a point of frustration out of editing. Even during extended usage there was no perceptible decrease in performance. However, this might not all be due to the memory as my system also has an integrated RAM head spreader. The good thing with Crucial is the memory is also backed by a Lifetime warranty so if any problems arise you can feel safe that you are covered. While not everyone needs 32GB of RAM today it certainly doesn’t hurt performance. If you are content creator or have a use case where the normal 16GB of RAM isn’t going to cut it, the Crucial DDR5 is solid choice. Just be sure to take advantage of their compatibility checker to ensure the best experience.

Itl had it shipped for a birthday present. It came 2 days later than originally scheduled. Also found it cheaper from Newegg

The Crucial 32GB kit consisting of 2 16GB DDR5-5600 SODIMM memory modules have made my life calmer, let me explain as brief as possible why it is better and faster: My laptop came with DDR5 and it works well with 16GB but it can be upgraded to 64GB so I decided to get the 32GB from Crucial to know if it sped things up and it worked much better than before. The installation was easy; all I had to do is take the back of my laptop off by taking off the screws and slowly taking the back off. Once I did that then the replacing of the RAM was much easier, opened both sides of the old ram and took them out, then place these on an angle and pushed down until they clicked, lastly put the laptop together and done. Once installed, the performance is just much better, I edit photos and 4k videos besides play games on my laptop and right away I can tell the big difference of speed. The 5600Mhz clock speed is just much faster at everything, rendering videos is much faster, also faster loading times, faster file transfers, faster downloads, and flawless multitasking. The DDR5 offers double the bandwidth of DDR4 so it is a great improvement, it is much efficient too. With an operating voltage of only 1.1V and on module voltage regulation and power management integrated circuit it offers cleaner power. I like Crucial, I have it on my built PC and I have it because it is designed for long term stability, it is reliable even when demanding a lot from it. Overall I am enjoying the upgrade, the Crucial 32 GB memory is much faster and better at everything including the editing 4k videos and rendering them too. Multitasking is also smooth and the rapid data access is excellent I am happier and calm knowing I will get things done fast.

I recently received a Dell Laptop with an AMD processor, 512 SSD, and 8 gigs or memory. The computer was okay but the fan was constantly running and the memory was always maxed out. I was only using the computer to browse the internet and only had like 2 or 3 tabs open. I was surprised at how sluggish the computer was getting with more tabs open and much the fan was running. I'm surprised that any modern computer is coming with 8 gigs of ram as its not really adequate for a modern computer. Thankfully memory is pretty cheap and is super easy to upgrade on your own. I added this Crucial 32GB memory and now the computer is noticeably faster (even boot times), the fan has not turned on even with heavy usage, and everything just works much smoother. Seeing as this is a more basic laptop the memory upgrade is probably way overkill and would probably suffice with just 16gb. Even if you are a novice, you can upgrade the memory with a few tools that you have around your home. I would recommend using the Crucial website on the computer you want to upgrade; this will tell you exactly what memory will fit and how much you can add. I thought this was really nice tool that crucial offers to make sure you get the correct product the first time. Crucial has been around for a very long time and makes a solid product. I have used them many times and never had any issues. Most laptops you just remove the bottom panel, and the memory is right on top for you to upgrade. Just search the internet for your Laptop brand/model with the keyword memory upgrade. You should easily find a video on how to upgrade your computer's memory. Make sure you are doing this in a static free setup as you do not want to electrically shock the memory modules or the computer. Once installed my computer booted up and windows took me to a screen asking if I upgraded the memory. I selected yes and computer finished booting to windows. The new memory worked perfectly and showed up in settings about computer as 32gb. I even checked the bios just to make sure and that showed 32gb at 5600 Mhz. Some systems you have to access the Bios to make changes for the memory to properly function, thankfully I did not. With the 32gb in my laptop I can open pretty much anything on this computer and not have any issues. There has been no sluggishness and it's a much better computer now. If you are having issues with your computer and it has low memory I would strongly recommend upgrading to this Crucial kit as it works perfectly and was easy to install.

Adding extra RAM is a great way to squeeze even more performance out of a computer. The 5600 SODIMM is relatively new to laptops. I upgraded an Alienware M16 laptop with the 32GB Crucial DDR5 SODIMM kit. It has worked great. This is not my first memory kit from Crucial. I think Crucial makes quality components at good prices, and this SODIMM kit performed great as I expected. Installation: Every installation is going to be different. To find out what memory works on your machine, you can consult Crucial’s website for their memory configuration tool or check out the documentation on the website of your laptop manufacturer. Some things to note: Even if your laptop supports DDR5 SODIMM, do not be surprised if your RAM speeds cap out at 4800MHZ. 14th GEN Intel laptop CPUs support SODIMM speeds up to 5600MHZ, but 13th GEN Intel laptop CPUs do not. The RAM will likely still work, but just capped at the lower speed. Also, some laptop manufacturers will only have one RAM slot that you can swap out. Sometimes, one stick may be soldered onto the mainboard and irreplaceable. All things to consider! Remember to be careful when taking your laptop casing apart. Be sure to unplug the battery from the mainboard before swapping out RAM. After you install the RAM and get the PC back together, do not be surprised if it takes a few minutes and some false reboots for the machine to boot normally. Every DELL laptop that I have upgraded starts with a black screen that occasionally flashes for a few minutes before everything settles and starts as normal. Usually the laptop will tell me in the boot process that more RAM has been added. Experience: I like how these DIMMS look. I think the darker PCB looks cool, but no one will see that once the memory is inside the machine. The RAM has been stable. I put the RAM through the paces with Memtest86 and the Windows Memory Diagnostics tool. The RAM completed several passes without error. Temps never got too high. The highest I saw in a few hours of testing was a temperature of 66 degrees Celsius. All-in-all, it is my opinion that the laptop performs better with the increased amount of RAM. Applications load a bit quicker. The machine performs better with some games. I have more RAM for photo and video editing applications. Conclusion: I think this kit is stable and well made. Installation was relatively easy. I had no compatibility problems. Memory checkers have hot found any errors with the chips. Temperatures have been pretty good. The RAM has performed well. 5/5

The Crucial SODIMM DDR5-5600 SODIMM memory, is a great upgrade for any laptop that can accept at least 32GB of DDR5 memory. I put them in a gaming laptop that already had DDR5 memory, but this was double the memory it came with and a speed upgrade. Installation is easy, just lift the old memory out and snap the new memory in. Took two reboots and then everything was fine. All 32GB of RAM showed up in the BIOS. I had no way to set speeds in my BIOS, so the computer picked the one it could use. The memory is compatible with 5,200MHz or 4,800MHz speeds. The computer memory test showed no issues with the memory. Compared to the memory the machine came with the Crucial was slightly faster. In the new 3Dmark Steel Nomad I got .5% increase is speed my score. Which good against other DDR5 memory. After several tests in different programs like AIDA64 etc, the Crucial always came out slightly ahead. Having 32GB of RAM just leaves more room for anything to run from games to office. With many games approaching 16GB, 32GB just means less to worry about. I have attached pictures of some memory results. The memory was as fast as the memory in my full tower gaming machine. Fast easy to install and works great. More memory helps in a multitude of programs and fast memory like this helps anything you want to run, run better.
