u/JaredBanyard · 7 pointsr/DataHoarder

Trying to figure out what 2x8GB RAM set to buy. They are obscuring so people pony up for their more expensive options.

Edit: According to https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/Synology_RAM_Module it looks like DDR3L-1600 unbuffered SO-DIMM 204pin CL=11 1.35V / 1.5V is the jam. I'm grabbing this. I'll report back after Provantage actually gets me my machine.

u/pfkninenines · 5 pointsr/thinkpad

Definitely works fine with 16GB. I've used 2 x 8GB DDR3 1600 then upgraded to 2 x 8GB 1866 which worked with a custom bios at the full 1866 speed. Both were sets from Amazon 2 x 8GB DDR3 1600 and 2 x 8GB DDR3 1866.

u/Galagamaster · 4 pointsr/homelab

Personally, I'd go with a NUC. I'm also in security and am buying this:

  1. Low power consumption
  2. Small footprint
  3. Very low noise
  4. Reasonably priced
  5. Can do 16+ vm's with oversubscription of resources
u/scandalon · 3 pointsr/synology
  1. Remove the cover like you're replacing RAM in the open slot.
  2. remove the back panel that holds the fans (you don't need to unplug the fans, just lay the panel down out of the way).
  3. Unscrew the screws that hold the MOBO to the case (again, no need to actually disconnect any of the wires).
  4. Lift the bottom of the mobo up and out flipping it over. You'll see the other RAM slot there. It ships with a 2GB from Syno. This is why you're limited to 6GB (a 8GB stick won't play well with that 2GB).
  5. Replace the stock RAM, and the empty slot with 8GB sticks.

    That's it. Just make sure to use the right RAM. Users have reported issues using the wrong type. Here's what I used, and I can confirm it works (I posted pics of it working in another post): RAM
u/paultreny · 3 pointsr/synology

I agree that the Crucial kits are identical spec wise, when I looked at them on crucial's site the only difference I saw was that that Mac version was Halogen free, so I purchased the slightly cheaper one at the time (the Mac version), and I can confirm it works without any issues in my new DS1817+

That's an awesome list of ThinkPads you have! I see your an X series guy. I thought about pulling the trigger on a decked out X230 but it doesn't have the classic IBM keyboard. Since you have the best of both worlds, which keyboard do you prefer from the X220/X230?

Also, do you think this RAM would work on the X220? Did you have to flash a certain BIOs* for the 16GB RAM or was it plug n play?

u/trungchan · 3 pointsr/thinkpad

The ram you have listed will most likely work. But do keep in mind, the X220 unofficially supports 16gb ddr3 ram. I am currently using that right now, and it is quite fast. Here is the link to the ram that I was talking about:

Synology branded will be more expensive and that's about it. Either check their compatibility site or open up the box and read the specs.

u/xplorn · 2 pointsr/HomeNetworking

It's just DDR3L laptop memory, like https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007B5S52C. It is commonly used on embedded boards like QNAP or mini ITX stuff.

Memory prices are criminal. I paid about $80 for the ones linked and they go for almost 2x now.

u/mdvalenz · 2 pointsr/qnap

I got these. Pain to get them in as you have to take the 451+ apart and slip the sticks between the board and the metal chassis. Took about 15 minutes and it's now a lot faster and I run the Windows VM with 8gb of ram which makes it run just as fast as my old server.

u/prinst0n · 2 pointsr/qnap

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007B5S52C/ This one works, you can check the specs if they are similar.

u/construktz · 2 pointsr/SuggestALaptop

If it's for programming, I'd say just to get this Lenovo ThinkPad T540p, get some more RAM, and throw a Samsung 850 Evo in there, and you have a really strong, durable machine for programming with the best keyboard around for it.

If that doesn't work for ya,a nd you want something more focused on portability, you can get this Dell XPS 15, or the signature edition here which is bloatware free and only loaded with permanent, non-trial anti-virus software.

u/CyberJeeves · 2 pointsr/SuggestALaptop

Most of the dissatisfaction from the 4-series Thinkpads comes from people that have used older Thinkpads and dislike the changes. If you're not moving from one Thinkpad, I don't know if such changes would be apparent. That said, the quality does seem to be on the decline, alas. Since you didn't specifically ask for trackpad buttons, I didn't think it was a dealbreaker.

The big issue with the T440s is that it can only support 12GB ram. For many professional applications, even ones like Photoshop, that may not be sufficient. The other major reason why I wouldn't recommend it is because you're pretty clear that processor speed is of paramount importance. The T440s, like all ultrabooks, use ultra low voltage processors that have only two cores and run at low base speeds in order to save on battery life. That means that the i7 4600U you see is not going to be as powerful as you expect.

Instead, take a look at this older W530 that you'd have to upgrade yourself. It has a quad core i7 3740QM Ivy Bridge quad core processor that's quite beefy at 2.7 - 3.7 GHz. You can add two or four sticks of RAM, up to a total max of 32GB. You can also replace the HDD with an SSD like the Samsung 840 EVO, which is pretty cheap now. However, with a machine like this, battery life is going to be drained pretty quickly. You may want to buy a spare from Lenovo directly so that you can swap them out.

u/macpaint · 2 pointsr/mac

That type of RAM is for standard desktop computers. The iMac uses laptop sized RAM. For a mid 2015 5K iMac you need something like this. https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-12800-Unbuffered-SODIMM-204-Pin/dp/B007B5S52C/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

I usually buy from OWC, but in the end as long as you match the specs Apple calls for it shouldn’t matter. (SO-DIMM, PC3-12800, unbuffered, nonparity, 204-pin, 1600MHz DDR3 SDRAM) As for mix and matching the RAM, from most of the things I’ve read it’s better to make sure you have matching pairs of RAM sticks. So if you already have two 4GB sticks in there, then it will be fine to put in two 8GB sticks. (Or two more 4GBs, etc) Do a little googling on how to install the RAM for your specific model to make sure you get everything right!

u/technewsreader · 2 pointsr/thinkpad

I am in the minority, but the E460 is a great budget laptop. The E440 was cheap, but the E450 and E460 have been very solid improvements. It is 3 screws to take the bottom cover off and 0 more to replace the ram and hard drive. The hard drive just pops in.

For $805 I specced out this http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/thinkpad/e-series/e460/

Intel Core i7-6500U Processor (4MB Cache, up to 3.10GHz)

A 16GB Ram Kit is $50 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007B5S52C/
A 750GB SSD is $199 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DUNLMUU/

That brings my total to $1055+tax.

u/MM320 · 2 pointsr/buildapcsales

It seems like it should since the MBP requires 204 pin SODIMM.
But there aren't any reviews to confirm.
Its $2 but this should work for the MBP and is from a more reputable brand

u/Source-IWorkForApple · 2 pointsr/applehelp

You can upgrade to 16GB of RAM, this is the type you need. Note that this is 204 pin, 1600MHz DDR3, so if you want another brand make sure the specs match.

I want to buy Crucial 16GB Kit but price is insanely expensive ! Right now They are selling them for $80 on Amazon but in the Amazon price history it was $45 for once and last year for Black Friday they had good deal on this product but this year it seems there isn't any discount .
Any advice ? I want to upgrade my Lenovo Ram .

u/TehWildMan_ · 1 pointr/techsupport

To get 16gb of RAM on a laptop, you will need to replace both modules with a kit like this

The GPU is almost guaranteed to be non-upgradeable.


Although for performance, I would consider replacing the mechanical hard drive that appears to come stock with a solid state drive.

u/cowboy8038 · 1 pointr/buildapcforme

Just searched through and found what I put in my laptop because that seemed like a good option. I could of pulled the 2X8's out and put them in the desktop and put the 2X4's back in the laptop. But it sounds like that won't work? I obviously don't know much about building...https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3L-12800-SODIMM-204-Pin-Memory/dp/B007B5S52C/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_147_t_0?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=6XJ5XFTATM54E25Z3WMA

So i did a quick search on amazon and found a couple deals. What do you think of the results below? Did I find a good deal or are there better ones out there?

8GB Kit

I know I said 8GB, but after seeing the price of 16GB, its actually not that bad. I thought it would cost more.

16GB Kit

u/TeamWorkOPleaseNerf · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

You are already on dual channel so performance isnt degraded but you ll be unable to upgrade so gotta buy all the ram.

​

Since ram is so cheap right now and intel doesnt benefit that much from speed or latency i ll recommend this 2x 16 kit for 160 usd https://www.amazon.com/G-SKILL-Ripjaws-PC4-19200-2400MHz-F4-2400C16D-32GRS/dp/B017UC3UPW/

And yeah computer will support it.

​

Of course if not so much is needed 2x8 is just 87 dollars https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC3-12800-Unbuffered-204-Pin/dp/B007B5S52C?th=1

u/Blastergasm · 1 pointr/redditblack

Asus is absolute shit, do not buy that. Based on what you linked though, my recommendation is this Dell Inspiron 13" 2-in-1

http://www.dell.com/us/p/inspiron-13-7359-laptop/pd?oc=fncww5010h&model_id=inspiron-13-7359-laptop

I have bought a bunch of similar models for work and they are perfect for what you're looking for. Don't buy into the i3 vs i5 marketing, you'll see absolutely no difference in the real world. See this comparison:

http://ark.intel.com/compare/88193,88180

Anyway, how tech savvy are you? If you're not comfortable tinkering with electronics a bit, I'd be happy to walk you through the steps, because with a laptop in this range you'll want some upgrades.

You'll notice both laptops come with traditional hard drives. While they have larger capacities, they are slow and unreliable.

You'll want to replace it with an SSD which will make it so much faster. Trust me, it'll feel like a laptop you paid 2x as much for. I recommend this SSD which is an insanely good deal for the upgrade you'd get:

http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-BX200-240GB-Internal-Solid/dp/B016JREGAC/

Next, upgrade with the single stick of 8GB of RAM:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007B5S52C

Both of these upgrades are very easy to install, all you need is a small philips head screwdriver to remove the bottom cover. I happen to have one of these laptops with me right now so I can send you detailed photo instructions if you like.

Before replacing the hard drive though, you'll need to use a USB drive to create reinstallation media and reinstall Windows 10 on the new drive. This is the trickiest part, but not terribly difficult: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/create-a-recovery-drive

Keep in mind that any laptop in this range isn't going to have great graphics. You can probably play basic games on low settings but don't expect great gaming from it.

If you have any questions fire away! I do this shit for a living yo.

Here's what I used:
Crucial - DDR3 PC3 12800

u/mnixxon · 1 pointr/htpc

Here's how I built mine. It's completely silent and performance wise, this thing is awesome.

DS81 - approx. $188

Crucial 16GB RAM - approx. $94

Intel I3 CPU - approx. $118

Scan Disk 120GB SSD - approx. $45

Total Cost - approx. $445 (this system is over built. 8GB of ram is probably sufficient, and the SSD could be smaller/cheaper)

Will this one work?

u/extrobe · 1 pointr/thinkpad

You might struggle to be honest.

I believe the T460 uses DDR3L RAM
However, single 16GB DDR3L SODIMM sticks are few and far between - Crucial don't do any, for example.
So if you do find one , chances are you'll pay over the odds for it

Sometimes, you can use DDR3 - but a) this depends on the manufacturer as to whether they support it, b) not sure you'd want to (or even able to) mix DDR3 & DD3L

And even then - a single stick of DDR3 16GB is £165 (GBP)
In contrast, a single stick of 16GB of DDR4 is about £60

the T460 has two slots, right? You'd be better off buying a 2x8gb DDR3L pack - about £60

From Amazon UK

(Obviously prices will be different in US etc, but suspect the difference in prices will be comparable)

u/joetherobot · 1 pointr/iOSProgramming

That model can go up to 16GB of RAM and easily allows the install of a new hard drive. That amount of RAM will cost you about $64 and a 500GB HDD will cost you about $120. I did both of those upgrades to a friend's mid-2012 MBP and the difference is night and day. Definitely go for it. It'll even get you a few more years out of the laptop.

Also, you don't necessarily need a fresh install of OSX. Just use Carbon Copy Cloner to clone your current drive to the SSD. You'll probably want to get an external enclosure ($13) to plug the SSD in to clone it. Once it's done cloning, replace the HDD with the SSD and you'll be good to go. You can then put the old HDD in the external enclosure and format it to use as an external hard drive.

u/bjones1024 · 1 pointr/thinkpad

From what I've heard, the memory controller in the T430s only supports up to 8GB per module (i.e. 16 GB total in the T430s since there are only 2 SODIMM slots) and in order to get support for 16GB modules, you have to upgrade to at least a Broadwell-generation model (2 generations newer).

I'm not sure what RAM speeds the T430s supports, but when I upgraded to 16GB, I got this (1600MHz):

u/phishook · 1 pointr/cordcutters

The resource utilization is high, but perfectly acceptable to me. The CPU utilization is only high when the backup is running...but its been running for 3 months straight...and got 5 months to go (1.5TB).

I have read that for every 1TB of files, you need 1GB of RAM. That was the largest obstacle...and I just had to get the compatible 3rd party RAM installed (ships with 2GB, upgraded to 16GB). Although, I have noticed that even with 6TB of files to backup, it only uses 2.26GB of RAM...so maybe the relationship is not linear.

You need to check what RAM is compatible with your unit, but my DS1815+ runs this just fine: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-CT2KIT102464BF160B-DDR3-1600-204-Pin-Notebook/dp/B007B5S52C

Side note - do not bother with SSD cache unless you support an ass-load (technical term) of users and they are accessing files that are "hot". I have personally concluded it will not help home users. I found others saying the same thing, but I did not believe them before I tried.

u/ElectronicsWizardry · 1 pointr/mac

>I found this Seagate 1TB SSD

Thats a hard drive. IT has a 8gb cache, but isn't worth it. Id personally get a 250 gb drive and store all your files on a external hdd or your old boot drive using that enclosure. Also here is a 1tb ssd for 200. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ASYTAPI/?tag=pcpapi-20

>As for the RAM upgrade, I someone suggested I use crucial.com to find what would work with my mbp. I came up with their crucial brand RAM but was wondering if they are any good? Are there any cheaper/better alternatives?

According to Intel (which is usually a better source than the manufacturer), the chipset supports up to 16GB DDR3-1600, and you can get a kit from Amazon for about USD$50.

u/MeinBlut · 1 pointr/laptops

Battery life and performance are mortal enemies. When you start buying beefier hardware in a mobile form factor, battery life will always suffer.

Another option would be upgrading your old laptop. Maxing out the RAM at 16GB and swapping the HDD for an SSD will breathe new life into the laptop. This is a bit of a risk, however, due to the age. If the motherboard dies, you’re left with RAM you likely will never use elsewhere. The SSD could be reused. The cost savings vs. a brand new laptop may be worth the risk.

Here is a video comparing boot times of your old laptop using an HDD vs and SSD:

https://youtu.be/-7ke_dRqfiA


I’d recommend this RAM kit:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007B5S52C/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nHYFAb91MJS5W

I’d recommend this SSD:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07864WMK8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_3IYFAb9P95QKH

250GB is a nice baseline, but you can spend more money for a larger size if you desire.

To get the most out of that gift you should get this. /s

I'm assuming you live in the US. If you're anywhere near a microcenter, drop by and have a chat with the staff before deciding anything. I haven't been there myself, but I've heard almost exclusively positive things about them.

What I currently use is this. I am very happy with it, the performance is good (1080p 60FPS in most games on very high settings), it runs surprisingly cool, and the screen is overclockable to 100Hz. The particular model I linked has a 1TB HDD, I'd recommend also buying this and installing it immediately (this is also a good excuse to do a clean install of Windows, which helps get rid of bloatware). It also has 16GB RAM, which can be doubled for ~$90 (just make sure it's the correct type of RAM, DDR3L).

Do keep in mind that it is a couple years old at this point, and sine nVidia dominate the laptop market, the GPU will not see much support at this point (AMD is a much better company but you don't have a choice when buying gaming laptops). It is however the best I can find for the price at Amazon.

Amazon search sucks, get this. It has a GTX 1070, which is way better than a GTX 980m. If 16GB RAM isn't enough later on, upgrade it with this. Also get more external HDDs. Always have multiple backups of everything important.

Hope that link works well

Those two upgrades gives the 2012 MBP a real second life and it can handle lots of browsing, apps open, plenty of different programming environments etc.

I've never had an OS X machine before and I think I might still prefer a Windows desktop but for a laptop it's been amazing, I'm still debating the merits of a iPad Air / iPad mini vs. an ms surface.
