Typical Crucial Memory

It works as you'd expect it to. At nominal speed (which is the only option in the HP dv7t-7000 series I installed it in) it sets up as 11-11-11-28-1T. Read and write speed vary with block size, but for typical sized transfers this i7-3610QM/HM77-based system achieves 13GB/sec writes and 24GB/sec reads.

You might think "Why does anyone need 16GB of RAM, isn't 8 enough?". Well, for many tasks it makes an easily-perceived difference, even with an SSD system drive that reads at 500MB/sec. The extra cache memory that you get with the additional 8GB (that reads at 24GB/sec) makes a HUGE difference for many types of memory-hogging tasks, such as photo and video editing. And at the reasonable price that The Egg sells this for, it's basically a no-brainer.

Nothing at all Con about the memory. See Other Thoughts.

The packaging is pretty bad -- you have to pull and pry so hard to extract the sticks from the package that at one point I was actually concerned about bending/cracking the FRP circuit boards or SMD joints. Cutting the plastic isn't a great idea either because a slip with a knife or scissors can easily damage the board too. It would be an improvement if Crucial would adopt the "Frustration Free Packaging" idea that the Company Named After A Very Long River In South America has promoted. (Successfully, in my experience)

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Barely lasted a month

Fast RAM. Easy installation.

Bought on June 5th, one module already failed by July 13th. This was recommended by NewEgg for my Intel NUC NUC5i5RYK but Crucial's site recommended a completely different module for replacement. Not sure what happened. *shrug* Just have to get another set from them I guess.
