Timetec 16GB KIT(2x8GB) Compatible for Apple DDR3 1067MHz / 1066MHz PC3-8500 RAM for Mac Book (Mid 2010 13-inch), Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010 13-inch), iMac (Late 2009 27-inch), Mac Mini (Mid 2010) MAC RAM

4 YEAR UPDATE (2024/5/7): it’s been 4 years and my mac mini with 10GB of RAM is still rockin it! I’ve since switched to running Ubuntu Server 22.04.4 LTS which is super lightweight and CasaOS manages server configuration using a web interface. The server is currently running 4 media servers (Emby (x2), Jellyfin, Plex), Syncthing, Duplicati (backup server), samba (file server), DuckDNS + Wireguard to create a secure tunnel into our network. With all this running, all I see is the CPU maxed out every so often [due to AVI transcoding which I eliminated] and as I predicted, I never see 10GB maxed out so even though this RAM is half the price of when I bought it, I still see no need to go to the full 16GB. Perhaps if it starts ad blocking (Pi-hole) and managing home automation (Home Assistant) but for now - quite the happy camper for a machine going on 15 years!I did quite a bit of research and from what I found, as long as you buy the right speced RAM, a mid-2010 mac mini server with a max spec of 8GB will support 16GB (or a pair of these 8GB sticks)I wasn't ready to shell out for a pair when my gut said jumping from 4 to 10GB was a good size jump to toy around w Xcode development. worst case, if my machine barfs going over 8GB, I'll just have a single 8GB stick which is technically the max certified by Apple on this machine. I figured this was a calculated risk.I'm also well aware that mismatched memory pairs are not recommended by IT admins & to be honest, my 2007 MacBook never complained about having 1+2=3GB in it for 13 years. I had no reason to think this mac was going to complain and after a month, its working just fine & when you have light loads, macOS uses the extra RAM to cache files it looks.I was right about 10GB, the real bottleneck in this mini is not the RAM, it's the Core2Duo which is often slammed. that said, the machine suffered very badly with it's default 4GB esp if you upgrade to a patched version of Catalina (10.15.4). Point being, I will not be investing in a second 8GB stick - I don't think 16GB will make a difference w the CPU bottleneck.Go back to High Sierra on 10GB and it performs much much better. take a trip down memory lane and go back to Mountain Lion Server 10.8 and the machine is super snappy (esp if you upgrade at least one of its 2 HDDs to an SSD)Overall, it makes the mini good for running background server processes (I'm running 2 instances of Emby and AltServer & plan to get Apache and maybe a few others up)Now I wouldnt recommend the upgrade (for a mid-2010 mac mini) for Xcode development - it's a toy at best. This was only meant to be a stopgap until I can get my hands on a new mac w Apple Silicon and I've had a 2018 iPad Pro to hold me the last 3 months and it's been great.Now if you can get a 8GB stick for $25 (or two for $40!), this would be an excellent deal!

Excellent packaging, working great on late 2009 iMac. It went from 2x2gb (total 4gb). According to iMac specifics, it accepts the maximum up to 16gb. I chose 4x4gb so that all slots can be used. If you wanted to give an old iMac a new lease on life, ram and SSD are two upgrades you should do it. However upgrading ram is absolutely a piece of cake--only 3 screws under the monitor, SSD requires adapter and unassembling.

An easy and affordable upgrade and worked well in a MacBook 13in mid-2010 (white/unibody 7,1) to go from 4gb to 16gb on macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra)

Upgraded a 2010 MacBook Pro from 4gb to 16gb without any issues. Apple states this model can only accept 8gb max but other sources say otherwise. Originally tried 2 other brands with the same spec's but they produced errors when booting so decided to try these Timetec out before giving up. Loaded the new sticks in along with a new SSD and now enjoying better than new operation. There is another brand claiming to be able to upgrade this model but the cost was much higher so very happy Timetec was able to get the job done.

Since Amazon Still Bundles reviews...Modules I received are rated 7,7,7,15 1.5v 1066.Form Factor DDR3 Sodimm 2x8 16GB KitModules perform as advertised and are plug and play in a MacBook Pro A1278 13.3” Mid-2010 7,1There are no errors even running memtest inside bootcamp so the modules do function properly.WARNING, Apple will only support up to 8GB for this MacBook Pro model. If you have 16GB in your system it will not be serviced by Apple.(If you mail in your computer they will take your modules and return it with 8GB.(If you think that’s bad... It gets worse they will charge you for the new modules and keep your old ones.)Alright about the item.The price is just “okay” given it’s 3rd Quarter 2020. I payed roughly $50 for these DDR3 modules. Since I know how binning works it’s a bit disappointing these even cost anywhere near this amount(Reason for one star lost). I could get a much larger and faster pair of RAM sticks in DDR4 for the same price.The PCB of the RAM modules is better quality than the old Samsung modules that we’re preexisting in the system.Oddly enough CPU-Z could not identify the Manufacturer of the Modules. I have not performed an EEPROM dump on them however.I’m not too concerned about longevity seeing as these are built very sturdy and are functional passing stress and full load testing right out of the package. I would recommend these for MacBook 13.3” Late-2010 Owners.
