Great upgrade for my laptop. It is a great product for a great price

Has everything you need up to date usage. Has awsome lighting to it and Functionality.

Very reliable product but I have seen performance difference comparing with other brand of memory comes in my laptop.

Only one fit into my laptop, but it does work fine, and I have no problems with it

Installed quickly and easily. Great helpful advice from Geek Squad on the purchase.

Not crucials fault it just happens alot with laptop memory for some reason if it diesnt post just replace it dont torture yourself trying ti fix it.

Very good ease of payment and very comfortable, and very high quality products

The memory itself is a great upgrade. However the same kit was only 100 dollars in 2024.

Upgraded from 16gbs to this and it did fine however one stick went bad and I’m not sure if it ever worked. I’d recommend if it was guaranteed they both worked also they lost the first package

Simple purchase process and a great purchase price.

I would bye this again 4 of my friends went down and got there's

Crucials the name you want for memory. Not much more to say. Good packaging, competitive pricing.

These worked great in my Alienware M16... for about 3 months. Now they give me nothing but a RAM error screen on loading. $100 dollars down the drain and back to my stock RAM just to get my computer to work. Be careful. Mine lasted until I couldn't return them.

i did not order this I had to reorder it again and have to take time to send this back and pay more for the one that I originally ordered

I chose to upgrade my Alienware M18 R1 AMD gaming laptop with Crucial’s 32GB kit of DDR5-5600 memory. The stock memory that shipped with my laptop is SK Hynix DDR5-4800 running at 2400 MHz. The maximum performance for the M18 R1 is DDR5-5200. This support has not changed with the latest Bios update from Alienware. The good news is that the Crucial DDR5-5600 kit does support this slower speed. Regardless, be sure to check Crucial’s website for compatibility. Always check your laptop’s user’s manual for highest supported memory speeds and capacity before making any purchase. In my case, Crucial’s website confirmed compatibility with the M18 R1. The difficulty of the installation was really dependent on the difficulty of getting the bottom cover off of the laptop. In my case, the bottom cover removal was relatively easy. Snapping out the old modules and snapping in the new modules was very easy. The modules will fit into the socket in a single orientation. So, there is now worry about installing them incorrectly. I ran before and after benchmarks. The benchmarks include 3D Mark’s Time Spy, Port Royal, Steel Nomad, and PCMark 10. I also ran before and after benchmarks using GeekBench 6 CPU and GPU benchmarks. Only PCMark 10 provided me with any appreciable difference in performance. This may be because the other benchmarks are more focused on CPU and GPU performance than overall system performance. 1% to 2% performance improvements in gaming is nothing worth writing about. PCMark 10, on the other hand, showed a 24% improvement. PCMark 10 is a productivity benchmark that measures non-gaming activity. PCMark 10 (Stock DDR5-4800): 8348 PCMark 10 (Crucial DDR5-5600): 10609 - 24% difference 90% of my daily computer usage is productivity. I tend to load the system with web pages, office applications, photo editing, and other useful tools. A few games like Forza Horizon 5 were thrown in for good measure. Stability is flawless. At no time did I experience any system slowdowns, blue screens, application crashes, artifacts, or unexplained behavior using Curcial’s upgrade kit. My only issue was fully expected. First boot post DDR5 swap saw the system pause for a few minutes before posting to Bios. This was the system identifying the new memory, running whatever checks it needs to run, and then prompting me to reset the Bios to system defaults. After this, the system boots quickly and unconcerned into Windows. Overall, I am disappointed with the down clock. But that is a limitation of my laptop and not any issue with Crucial. The fact that Crucial supports slower speeds and timings shows that compatibility and stability are as important to Crucial as performance. This upgrade will not impact my gaming experience. But it should save me time with memory intensive productivity applications such as photo editing, silly large OneNote notebooks, large spreadsheets, multi-tasking, and other applications that I have running in the background all day collecting and sorting information.
