Customer Ratings & Reviews

My laptop had 16GB of RAM, and I was looking to upgrade it to 32GB to help "future proof" my laptop as games and applications get more and more resource intensive. Laptops are expensive, and spending a little on a RAM upgrade now should allow me to put off replacing the whole laptop for at least another year or two. The upgrade went smoothly, and I'm quite happy with my laptop's performance with this RAM set. Applications open smoothly, I'm able to multi-task without any lags or crashes, I can dedicate more RAM to my virtual machines, and I should be good to install AAA games for at least another couple years. Getting this RAM upgrade was a major win for me, and I strongly recommend it for anyone looking to extend the life of their existing equipment. One word of caution for those looking to upgrade though: Make sure that your device has user upgradeable RAM before purchasing this upgrade kit. A lot of manufacturers solder the RAM directly onto the motherboard. I was fortunate in that my device had two, easily accessible, RAM slots that weren't soldered in place. Also, make sure that your laptop uses DDR4 RAM. Most laptops sold over the past couple years have DDR4 memory, but some of the more recent laptops have started to use DDR5. If you have two user accessible RAM slots, and your laptop uses DDR4 memory, then this is the RAM set to get.

This is a nice upgrade at a good price for ddr4 users. Some of the newer laptops are starting to use ddr5 which is faster but most laptops are still using ddr4. Be sure your laptop uses ddr4 since ddr5 is not compatible with ddr4. The slots are different. I'm pretty sure that 3200Mhz is the fastest speed for ddr4 so this will be plenty fast. It should also work fine at slower speeds if your system won't support 3200Mhz. Also be sure your laptop has two ram slots that can be swapped since many have one or more ram sticks soldered in making them unavailable for upgrading. Many have just one slot that can be upgraded but since this is a 2 pak you would probably be better off just getting one. But if you do have two slots that can be changed out then this is a good upgrade for more ram. If you're thinking you may need more ram then you probably do. Most games currently don't use more than 16GB but that will likely be changing sometime soon. Also if you're running a game that uses nearly 16G and want to open an app without quitting the game you may be a little short. 32GB is great for multitasking and also you can open many many tabs in your browser without hurting your performance. I used to limit my number of tabs because when I opened too many they would slow down considerably and often malfunction. After this upgrade I purposely opened a lot of sites at once in my browser and they ran fast and reliably. It didn't seem to matter how many, they all worked well. My laptop seems a bit faster now too. It's a few years old hp spectre with i7 and the old ram (16GB) was 2666Mhz so this ram is faster. I wasn't sure it would support the faster speed but it does. I thought it was pretty fast already but now it's really fast and fewer hiccups. Crucial has been around for awhile now and I have used several of their products with good results. None of them have failed me yet.

Worked perfect in my HP. Plug and play. HP says you cant use over 8 gigs of memory but this has gone up to 11 gigs so far in everday use and my perfomance seems much better.

Unfortunately, the one i got was faulty after the installation was complete. The laptop wouldn't even boot thankfully i was able to return and get a full refund

This is good RAM. It's honestly a little hard to say more than that, particularly when it's for a mobile device. Unlike with desktop memory, there really aren't a ton of options available for laptop SODIMMs in regards to how you configure it or what kind of performance improvements you can make. But this does check all the boxes. The CAS Latency of 22 is decently low for mobile memory. There are a few DDR4 kits that can manage a CL of 20, but the performance gains you get from that are pretty negligible. The speed is great. And it runs stable. In my case I was swapping it into a gaming laptop that I often use for 3D work, since the 16gb it shipped with was starting to bog down a little on more complex jobs. The new memory performs almost exactly the same in day to day tasks (within .6% on most benchmarks) and did a great job of clearing that bottleneck I was encountering on the more complex tasks. System stability is great, it passed a memtest with flying colors, and power consumption remains more or less the same. So... yeah. It's good RAM from a reputable supplier. It's a great choice for everyday use in high powered machines.

The ram stick was really easy to insert into my computer. But the ram runs very well and im happy with my purchase.for this much ram at this value id recommend you buy it. Plus the company that made this ram is very reputable.

This is the perfect upgrade a laptop that has two or more SODIMM slots, and after installing them you'll notice that it really does make your PC feel faster both in terms of multi-tasking with more apps/programs running at the same time and makes a difference in gaming with many games having better frame rates and reduced load times. Installation is very easy in most cases, many laptops have a cover with a couple of screws that you can remove to install RAM and hard drives and most manufacturers have instructions on how to do this for your specific model on their support sites. I have two laptops one that had two 4GB DDR4 SODIMMS and I upgraded it to these 16GB modules and it definitely made a huge difference in terms of being able to load multiple programs and games where it reduced load times for some games. I run Fusion 360 and larger drawings load faster. In addition, surfing the web and using multiple tabs you'll notice a huge difference in performance if you're one that likes to have many tabs open at once. It really is a perfect upgrade for any laptop that has 8GB or less of ram and supports DDR4 3200 SODIMMS. Corsair makes great memory and this is a perfect upgrade that I would recommend to anyone who has a laptop that takes DDR4 SODIMMS and only has 8gb of ram.

As someone who owns multiple custom desktop and personalized gaming laptops, I knew I had to upgrade one of my laptops to this 32GB Kit to see the performance difference. First off it’s a SODIMM RAM meaning don’t try to use this for a regular motherboard, it’s designed for laptops. Secondly the installation is beyond easy and seamless as long as you know how to install ram into slots. (Be sure to ground yourself.) Upon boot my boot time increased way beyond what I expected of the RAM to perform. Boot time with stock 16GB Ram usually was around 25-30 seconds. With this ram I was at the Windows login screen in a crazy 12 seconds. Now that’s all good and fine but how does it perform under serious load. The answer is, perfect. I was able to open up a video editing program, photo editing program, 15 browser tabs with one playing YouTube/Music, a document editor, and finally a desktop music application. This test was less so about functionally operating but more so how would The RAM respond to this much load. I didn’t experience any slow downs in the least when I ran all of this at once. It was truly incredible. Crucial is a reliable brand in the computer market and this product only stands the test of time of the reliability of the Crucial brand!

I wasn't having issues with my 16GB laptop but I decided it was time to see what 32GB could do. I didn't have a pry tool so I destroyed several fingernails in the attempt to open my laptop. Said a few choice words, but finally got the back off to expose the board and components in all their splendor. I was happy to also see it was exceptionally clean in there. I swapped out the 16 for the 32 GB and put everything back together like I was never in it. The laptop instantly recognized the new RAM. It booted into windows faster than before and I could tell a difference in how smooth and responsive everything runs now. Apps open and close much faster. I opened more things just to test it's multitasking ability and found it to be a non issue. There was no lag even with applications with a heavy footprint such as photoshop, Office apps, and streaming videos. I've not felt so productive on my laptop in a while. I'm very pleased with the upgrade. I would definitely recommend making the swap to 32 GB to anyone looking to upgrade their laptop, I would also recommend doing the research to make sure their laptop is capabile of handling such an upgrade.

This is laptop ram, so the most important thing to do is make sure to look up the type of ram your laptop can take and also make sure you know how to change/add the ram. This is more so about you doing your research, then buying ram and hoping it fits. So make sure your laptop can take DDR4-3200 ram to make sure this is going to work before making the purchase. Outside of that, if you get the ram and the model fits your laptop, then this ram works great! I’ve not run any crazy bench marks to see the change in performance from my current ram to this upgrade, but from my experience I’ve seen some improvement though nothing crazy as I went from 16gb to 32gb in my laptop. If you are in need of adding ram, then this is a strong recommendation from me. Not much else to add about it, as again, I didn't do bench marking to see what those say on performance. I've your only using 8 gb ram then you'll probably experience more improvement then if you're going from 16 gb. Again, happy with the performance from my side so would recommend it if you need more ram.

The Crucial 32 GB SODIMM was very easy to install on my computer. After installing it on my computer i noticed how much faster my computer was, it was no longer lagging, and overall it had a smoother run while dping different things such as editing and formatting my work while adding things to my documents. Having this improved my computers overall function and made work so much easier for me as i wasnt waiting around for things to load. The speed that i gained after installing this into my computer gave me more productivity in shorter times whereas before I was having issues with my computer. The responsiveness of my computer and my programs are way more up to speed giving me a better work experience without having to get frustrated over lagging. If i would have known about this sooner i wpuld have definitely gotten the crucial a long time ago. Overall, installation was quick, easy, and comprehendable while the output of performance with this is amazing for me for personal use and buisness use.

I don’t think that was the problem Computer is still SLOW I don’t know for sure

I have an All-in-One Windows PC that has been starting to feel a bit sluggish lately, so I’ve been thinking about ways to upgrade it. First, I made sure that my machine supported a RAM (memory) upgrade, then I confirmed that this 32 GB upgrade kit from Crucial was compatible. Finally, I checked my computer manufacturer’s service manual to learn how to access the memory slots and saw there were just a few screws standing in my way. I spent about 20 minutes swapping out my old (8 GB each) memory modules for the two new ones (16 GB each) that come in this kit, and now my computer has 32 GB of memory instead of 16. The hardest part was finding the right screwdriver in my cabinet. Once I got to the memory slots, it was easy, as SODIMM modules pop in and out using intuitive metal clips on either side. The increased performance was noticeable immediately. Everything is much more responsive now. Tasks that would take a long time before (for example, opening multiple applications or refreshing a large spreadsheet file with many formulas) no longer result in a slowdown. Overall, I’m very satisfied with this memory upgrade kit, and even more happy about my computer’s improved performance.

This Crucial 32GB DDR4 upgrade kit is an excellent upgrade for those mobile/notebook or ultra compact form factor desktops that take SODIMM RAM of the DDR4-3200 variety. I was able to install this temporarily in my Intel NUC unit that normally has DDR4-2400 SODIMMS installed and instead these worked perfectly. The NUC, a micro desktop, supports all the way to 3200MHz clocked RAM, but came with 2x8GB of slower RAM in the kit I’d purchased. Not only did the capacity increase 2x, but the speed was also almost 2x for reading and writing. I didn’t perform any objective benchmarks but Windows 11 on the machine booted nearly instantly (the system is an 8th generation Corei7 H-Series CPU so the slower smaller previous RAM was definitely a bottleneck. I am now able to run additional virtual machines and multitask in browsers and creative apps with a much higher memory ceiling until paging to disk slows things down. This is in addition to the speed/performance gains. I’d recommend anyone upgrading RAM on a DDR4 system choose 3200 speed, and thus Crucial kit is excellent for a 32GB upgrade!

Something that really surprises me about the gaming PC industry is that single channel memory is installed in so many devices, even ones that are well beyond "low end." Couple that with the recent trend to switch to 1Rx16 memory for many devices and you get a recipe for disasterous performance. I have had a gaming laptop for some time now which came with just such a configuration from the factory - a single 8GB 1Rx16 SoDIMM out of the box. This Crucial 32GB kit is a huge upgrade - both in the amount of memory, dual channel, and also the fact that the DIMMs are 1Rx8. Using "Shadow of the Tomb Raider" as an easy benchmark, I did some tests before and after upgrading the memory. Before upgrade, I was getting 93 FPS at 1080p at the lowest settings. After upgrade, I managed to get 149 FPS! That kind of performance difference is HUGE! Even with a "value" kit like this you can expect great gains when you're coming from a factory configuration that uses a single 1Rx16 SoDIMM. I have plenty of trust in the Crucial brand, so I'm really glad they are in this price range with a solid product.

My Lenovo ThinkCentre PC was struggling with 8GB RAM. I swapped it out to this 32GB kit and haven't looked back. It's easy to swap memory modules - turn off the PC and unplug it. Open the case. Remove the old memory. Install the new memory. Close the case. Plug everything back in and turn it on. This 32GB maxes out this PC, otherwise I would have gotten more. Memory is the cheapest improvement you can do for any computer.

Great product. I installed this memory into two of of my laptops. It was easy and evrything work great ! Recommend without a doubt

I found this to be a very good upgrade for my Dell G15. The Ram sticks were easy to swap out with the original ones. They have really helped me ipgradd from 8 gb to 32 gb of Ram.

put it into my hp victus gaming laptop that originally had 8gb of ram and it runs everything like a charm. perfect for me! if you're thinking about it, just do it.

As part of my wanting a new laptop, I wanted more RAM for creative endeavors and found this during Black Friday. It's recognized on my Windows 11 laptop and works perfectly!
