What is Reddit's opinion of Crucial 16GB Single DDR4 2400 MT/s (PC4-19200) DR x8 SODIMM 260-Pin Memory - CT16G4SFD824A?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

I got a single 16GB stick off Amazon and it has worked great for me so far. 24 GB is plenty of RAM for most data-science applications that I work on; anything bigger than that goes on the cluster. Set up WSL as soon as you get it and it makes for a great productivity device.

I assume you meant 16gb since we're talking about upgrading, lol.

Matching the manufacturer specs is rather important. If I were you, I would stick to exactly 2400mhz. There should be another spec that says PC4-19200, so if you buy anything, try to make sure the product listing says something like "DDR4-2400 (PC4-19200)" in its description. Something like this I just found on amazon. Crucial ram is name brand, btw. Would recommend. Again, double check to make sure your laptop is indeed capable of 16gb, and has a ram access port, and you're off to the races.

Hey,

Would this work?

We left the stock WiFi card in as it works fine for my partners use.

I think what you are looking for is DODIMM ddr4 memory which is pretty common on Amazon and many other sites. example

RAM's RAM. Any DDR4 SODIMMs will work.

I'd take a look at this, save yourself $25 CAD.

Brilliant, very helpful to know thank you so much! I will defo be back with more questions I’m sure, haha. I’ve just ordered this RAM to come tomorrow - think it’s the same you had? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B019FRBHZ0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_JFpdFbWXJG3FK

That don't look like this dude.

I've got Crucial CT16G4SFD824A for t480s (e.g. https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC4-19200-SODIMM-260-Pin/dp/B019FRBHZ0 ) and their tool shows it's compatible https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/lenovo/thinkpad-t480s-(intel-core-8th-gen)#memory . the one you found might work, but those "Intel 6th or 7th gen only" statements on memory sticks are worrying me + no official compatibility stated (there is a review stating it works with T490 though https://www.newegg.com/corsair-16gb-260-pin-ddr4-so-dimm/p/N82E16820236291)

I got myself CT16G4SFD824A. No issues at all

I have that NAS and installed two of these and it works great.

[ Matériel NUC ]

Bonjour, j'ai une question de compatibilité.

est-ce que cette cette ram est compatible avec Le nuc ?

ce qui est important c'est quoi DDR4 ? ou faut que je vérifie d'autres points ?

merci

I actually decided on upgrading to 16GB Ram after i watched the above video a month ago.

Dumb Question:

How can I tell if this is 1x16gb or 2x8gb ram sticks?

​

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Crucial-CT16G4SFD824A-PC4-19200-SODIMM-260-Pin/dp/B019FRBHZ0?th=1

These two are good brands at nice prices.

If you haven't serviced/replaced it yet, or if you're still having problems, it could be the RAM. I had the same RAM configuration as you but the graphics card reserved 2GB, effectively reducing it to 6GB. You can upgrade one of the RAM slots (the other is soldered in) up to 16GB for a total of 20GB (1x4GB , 1x16GB) in theory a total of 18GB after the 2GB reserved by the graphics card. For some reason the ASUS specs say you can only upgrade the open slot up to 12GB but based on my reddit research and personal experience, 16GB works...whether or not it's necessary to go that high is another debate.

This didn't eliminate all of my performance issues but it went from downright unusable, especially if Chrome was running in addition to a high resource app/game, to just a minor annoyance.

This is what I got: https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC4-19200-SODIMM-260-Pin/dp/B019FRBHZ0 and self-installation was very easy (my first time messing with hardware) just following a youtube video.

According to CPU-Z in the memory tab it shows these numbers 17,17,17,39 so I am planning to go for this RAM. Can you please check too??

It really depends on your usage habits. How much does your current PC have? Do you feel like its enough? In my opinion as an IT, today for personal computers 8GB is an absolute minimum regardless of operating system. Anything less is for smartphones and raspberry Pis. Especially as online student, you will probably be dealing with lots of browser tabs which are known to be the biggest memory hogs. If 16GB is not too far out of your budget, then go for it. Better have extra than not enough. You can get this one: https://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Single-PC4-21300-SODIMM-260-Pin/dp/B019FRBHZ0/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2JLIMBM1AIKTI&dchild=1&keywords=crucial%2Bsodimm%2Bddr4%2B16gb&qid=1594685172&sprefix=crucial%2Bsodimm%2Bddr%2Caps%2C199&sr=8-1&th=1 they have 8 and 16gb models. Choose 2400MT/s version as thats the fastest this motherboard will run. If you buy 2600 or 3200, the motherboard will underclock it to 2400.

As far as other upgrades, this laptop has 2 M.2 NVME slots, one of which supports M.2 SATA. The Sata/NVME port runs at full speed, while the other NVME only port runs at half speed.

replacing the stock M.2 SATA drive with M.2 NVME will give you a fairly noticeable boost in boot and loading times, and even bigger boost in large file copy/move operations.

Faster/more expensive, and my personal favorite NVME to date: https://www.amazon.com/BLACK-SN750-500GB-Internal-Gaming/dp/B07M64QXMN/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=sn750&qid=1594685288&sr=8-2&th=1 if you go with this one, since its significantly faster I recommend replacing the default SATA drive with this, as its way too fast for the secondary NVME port.

Slower/bit cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/Blue-SN550-250GB-NVMe-Internal/dp/B07YFF3JCN/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=wd%2Bblue%2Bnvme&qid=1594685033&sr=8-2&th=1 if you go with this one, you can ADD it along with stock M.2 SATA. It's just fast enough to cap out the secondary NVME port. Its slower than WD Black but still significantly faster than stock M.2 SATA.

Depending on how fast your home network and internet speed is, you may want to upgrade your wireless/bluetooth adapter. The stock one will do about 150mbps up/down. You can get this https://www.amazon.com/WiFi-AX200-PCs-802-11AX-Bluetooth-NGW/dp/B07TLBNSZQ/ref=sxts_sxwds-bia-wc-p13n1_0?cv_ct_cx=ax200&dchild=1&keywords=ax200&pd_rd_i=B07TLBNSZQ&pd_rd_r=cffc35e2-9227-41a0-907e-8a6586548424&pd_rd_w=Ffq1o&p... which will go up to 400mbps on 802.11ac, and even faster if you have WiFi6 (802.11ax) compatible router. This is only needed if you have really fast internet at home(more than 100mbps), or if you have some sort of home server that you use for file storage and whatnot.

I don't see a weekly thread for discussions, and the pinned thread looks dead, so I'll ask here:

​

How does the following look?

​

NUC8i5BEK for £375 from scan or Amazon with an Intel i5-8259U Passmark 8377

16 Gb DIMM @ £58

1TB SSD @ £111

It's based on the DAPPNodeMini but faster processor and more RAM. Total £550 / $710

​

My intention would be to run install DAppNode and run a Beacon and validator

It looks good on the DAppNode recommended specs, (Dated October 2018).

Update - I ended up buying the wrong type of RAM (DDR3L) and my earlier comment suggesting the maximum supported RAM capacity being 12GB (4GB built-in + 8GB in the slot) was incorrect.

Here's what I've found now:-

I installed an application (link - https://www.aida64.com/) to get a full-detailed report of the hardware and found the following:-

• This is the motherboard -Intel i3-8145U
• This is the exact RAM module that needs to be replaced - https://www.memorybenchmark.net/ram.php?ram=Ramaxel+Technology+RMSA3270ME86H9F-2666+4GB&id=12073

The i3-8145U chipset that comes in the Lenovo S340 (the chipset may vary in your specific model depending on the processor) supports upto 64GB RAM (source - https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/149090/intel-core-i3-8145u-processor-4m-cache-up-to-3-90-ghz.html). And it accepts only a DDR4 RAM. And DDR4 RAMs have a bigger capacity of 16GB per stick.

I was able to find out the exact RAM that will fit my machine by visiting this link -https://www.crucial.com/usa/en/compatible-upgrade-for/Lenovo/ideapad-s340-15iwl

Crucial offers a feature called "Guaranteed Comp ability" where you can look up the exact model of your machine and see which upgrades will be compatible with it. I was able to find out that this RAM will fit - https://www.amazon.in/Crucial-CT16G4SFD824A-2400MHz-260-Pin-SODIMM/dp/B019FRBHZ0/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=CT16G4SFD824A&qid=1568712096&sr=8-1

Initially I thought I will find out the proper RAM type from Crucial's website and buy the cheapest one of that type, but turns out that the exact RAM from Crucial is the cheapest option on Amazon. So I will be buying it soon.

I'm yet to make the purchase but I am confident that this will fit because when I opened the laptop to replace it with a 204-pin 8GB RAM, I saw the RAM stick it comes with and it looked exactly like this. So fit-wise I am not worried, but in terms of dual-channel compatibility I am not sure what that even is. I can see in the product description of this RAM that it is 'dual-ranked'. Again not sure if this is the same as Dual-channel compatibility, but I'm yet to learn more about this. I will be updating this once I buy the RAM and try it out.

A quick search on crucial.com shows that 8GB is the maximum memory for that model.

Edit: actually I'm getting conflicting info; this says the 81SR is also known as C340-15IWL. So this or this should work. But you might verify that your computer uses DDR4 with CPU-Z.

FWIW, I have a Gram 13Z980 and bought a Crucial 16GB DDR4 2400 stick of RAM and a 512GB intel 760p SSD from Amazon.

That RAM is currently about $15 less than what I paid and that SSD is about $15 more. Might check Micro Center, Newegg, etc pricing. There are, of course, other RAM and SSDs you could choose. Crucial's MX500 is a popular SATA SSD option if you're more concerned about capacity per dollar than speed.

this is the cheapest I could find.

Is this compatible?

Check this out Even if you upgraded the ram for 158 here and add a 2TB HDD it still gets to $1378 highest.
