5.0 out of 5 starsGreat for Macbook Pro early 2011
By Friscoboy on July 14, 2012
Size: 16 GB Verified Purchase
I wanted to upgrade my Macbook Pro 13" and my wife's Macbook Pro 15" early 2011 laptops to 16gb given how cheap memory prices are nowadays. We both run pretty demanding applications that require more than 4-8gb of memory. Initially I tried the Komputerbay 16gb given the good reviews, cheap price and Amazon return policy:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00698WP50/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

Unfortunately both sets that I received did not work for our laptops. They did not pass memory tests that I ran and generally froze our machines. I then went in search of an alternative and found Cosair's 16gb kit, which also got good reviews:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006DI9PG8/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i00

Unfortunately I didn't read all the reviews as several users with Macbook Pro early 2011 complained of fit issues. I tried these sticks and it appears that one set had a bad module while both suffered from not "seating" properly in the memory slots. I tried reseated them several times and noticed that the bottom stick would pop out sometimes while trying to seat the top stick. Even when both were seated properly, my computer would run for a while and then freeze and giving the fun three beep. While reading one of the Macbook Pro early 2011 reviews for this memory, they mentioned finding the Patriot 16GB Mac memory kit. Figuring a third time might be the charm, I ordered these and returned the Crucials. The Patriots appear to seat well in the Macbook Pro and have passed Rember memory test. When I have time, I'm going to run the more exhaustive Memtest on these bad boys. But so far these sticks have worked very well in both the 13" and 15" Macbook Pros. I highly recommend these for people with Macbook Pros as they are made specifically for Macs and seat properly. If you want to avoid taking a risk and wasting time in frustration, get these!

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks Well in Early 2011 Macbook Pro
By bareyb on September 7, 2012
Size: 16 GB Verified Purchase
Worked for me. Instantly showed up in "About this Mac" and passed all of the Rember Memory Tests with Flying Colors. These are specifically made for Apple and are sold by Patriot in Fremont California. Very good reviews on the web (it's one of the fastest tested brands out there) and is considered a high end name brand. Also has a lifetime warranty which is always recommended. Macbook Pros use a slightly thicker RAM than PC's and some of the Non-Apple RAM they sell here (Corsair CMSO Series) has caused people some problems with the memory shaking loose or not seating properly. Always safer to go with a brand that is designed specifically for Macs and at this price you can't beat it. I put up some Pics at the top of the page showing the Success.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorking as expected.
By Emerson Moura on June 15, 2012
Size: 16 GB Verified Purchase
I decided to buy the Patriot memory 16G kit after researching many reviews and getting feedback from my colleagues at the office. It's slightly more expensive than average brands, but the specifications are better as well. So why not spending a few more dollars for a quality memory for a Macbook Pro I paid a lot of money for? I don't regret spending the few extra dollars. The memory is working great as expected. I can't tell yet if it's going to last longer than other brands nor if it really performs much better since I didn't run any performance test. At least I didn't get any bad surprises and for me that's worth the extra money I paid for.

5.0 out of 5 starsMore ram that I needed - but cheaper than upgrading twice!
By Digital Donkey on January 4, 2013
Size: 16 GB Verified Purchase
I had a mac mini with 4GB of ram and it was becoming a major bottleneck. I plopped this kit in and things seemed to be much improved. One word of advice - anytime you install new ram make sure to run Memtest to make sure it's good. I had no problems with this kit, but in the past I've had bad ram and it can cause all sorts of random, frustrating problems. Testing it first with Memtest will save you hours of other troubleshooting if you happen to get a bad module.

5.0 out of 5 starsWorks great in my wife's 2011 MacBook Pro
By Bart on November 28, 2014
Size: 16 GB Verified Purchase
Works great in my wife's 2011 MacBook Pro. It originally had 4GB RAM from the factory, Apple claims it wouldn't take more than 8GB, but I can confirm the other reviewers and say that the system will recognize and use all 16GB. Much, much less expensive than Apple's RAM, which must be made out of solid silver or gold for what they want for it.

4.0 out of 5 starsdamn
By Stan J. Moran on August 21, 2012
Size: 16 GB Verified Purchase
I read all the reviews and took the plunge. Here's what I got. One memory stick seems to work well. The other does not.

I can say when I put the good stick in with my old 2gb stick from apple that my late 2011 MacBook pro blazes with speed.

But getting half of my product bad as
soon as I open the package, ugh...

I'm hoping to get at least one more good stick out of my replacement!

Update 10/20/12
I received my new memory sticks a few months ago and frankly forgot about my negative review. But the new sticks both work, i ran several tests and the ram is functioning properly. More importantly I can run starcraft 2, open a web page, or five, and play itunes at the same time. Before the upgrade i could barely run sc2. i don't know every in and out on my computer but I do know that something has changed for the amazing! upgrade now!!!

5.0 out of 5 starsFINALLY, things are running perfectly again
By S. Dunson on December 12, 2013

I had to do something about my MBP 13" (early 2011) since making the mistake of upgrading to Parallels 9 (that's another story of issues nonstop and poor customer service). Everything was running on my machine perfectly fine, and I rarely had to deal with my fans running nonstop. At any rate, I checked my previously installed 8G and I was running with just 753MB remaining for ongoing processing. Temperatures from all over were starting to sky rocket due to how hard the machine was working.

At any rate, I just installed the the Patriot chips. So far, the temps are nice and "chill". The fans have not come on as of yet…and based on what my readings are showing from Activity Monitor, it shouldn't any time soon. With the same programs running from earlier that left with less than a gig, I now have approximately 9G free.

In other words folks, stop shopping and go ahead and snag this memory!! If there are any updates, I will be sure to provide more information.
