Timetec 8GB DDR3L 1600MHz Laptop RAM

ADAD

Everything went well, easy to install. My laptop only came with 6-GB Memory so since it was slowing down I installed this Timtec 16-GB Memory. Computer increased in speed and processing.

Used this to upgrade my granddaughter’s old DDR3 Latitude laptop from 8GB to 16GB. Worked just fine for an old system, and the fact that it was really inexpensive made it worth spending the money on such an old laptop.

Ordered this ram upgrade for my refurbished HP EliteDesk 800 G1. Photo shows “before” memory upgrade which consisted of 2 4GB memory modules (8GB total). This is a “mini” PC (only about 10 X 10 inches) so only 2 memory memory slots.

PC seemed to run OK with 8GB (max possible was 16GB) but Google seemed to often not load a new internet screen without using “Reload” from a drop-down menu. Online search suggested that problem may be insufficient ram. So, I figured that more ram at least couldn’t hurt.

There seem to be many different suppliers to choose from at many prices. I wanted to replace the 2 4GB modules with 2 8GB modules (16GB total). Perhaps a single 16 GB module would have worked but I didn’t want to add any more unknowns than necessary so I wanted 2 8GB modules.

In the HP, the ram modules are readily accessible and easily removed and replaced. Not swapping ram in and out much anymore, the module configuration specification numbers were to some extent undecipherable to me. So, I looked for replacements that had most if not all of the same specifications. Furthermore, it was not exactly clear if the offer (price) was for one or two modules. THESE modules had the exact numbers plus said “kit” so I knew I was getting 2 modules.

Installation was literally a 1 minute job! Of course, be careful and concerned about physical damage and ESD damage. I took a number of photos before replacement including photos of the various external cable connections. I further cloned the internal SSD drive to an external drive that I regularly use for weekly clones.

At startup after upgrading, the BIOS recognized that the ram configuration had changed and showed “press F1” to do something. In the “old” days, you HAD to go into the BIOS and agree or set the new size. Here, I just pressed any key without getting into the BIOS and the PC successfully booted into W10. I could visually see that speed of had increased. Next, had to verify that everything was working.

Everything except my USB sound speakers was working fine. I didn’t see how the memory upgrade could possibly affect sound. Online suggested to “reload” the sound driver. I did and this fixed it. Haven’t seem the Google “reload” requirement.

In summary, easy, safe upgrade for me and good price and quality – they work!

I have used this product in my Synology NAS DS416Play to increase its memory up to 8GB. I was somewhat hesitant in performing the memory upgrade but in order to execute the DSM 7.2 operating system you need more than 1GB otherwise the machine runs very slowly (and Synology memory is terribly expensive). After installing the 8GB into the NAS I executed the Synology Assistant memory test three (3) times in order to validate the new memory and the tests passed each time without any errors being detected. The NAS has been using this 8GB RAM for the last four days and it has been operating continuously with no problems.

As you probably know, tablets vary significantly in quality. I’m installing this memory in my Yoga 11e. I have had this tablet for quite a while and its built like a tank. Sorry to say it’s getting a bit slow,. That said, memory doubles the what was 4 gig the machine came with. Great price and works fine.
