Same price as OWC but with free shipping, and the RAM works perfectly. I upgraded my 2012 iMac 27 with maximum RAM, along with an SSD from B&H, and 2012 feels like 2021 now.

My Mid-2015 iMac was beginning to have issues multitasking apps/programs. Since the hybrid drive it came with still functions well–speed of booting etc.–I opted for more memory. The 16Gb Ram I purchased has worked superbly. I have noticed a much smoother transition between apps and the latency I was experiencing has gone. While much of the slowness could also be attributable to the Hybrid HDD working, the RAM addition has been invaluable. I have purchased OWC products many times in the past and I have never been disappointed. I purchased from B&H because their site is easily navigable, they had what I needed in stock and their prices are always competitive–PLUS their customer service is beyond excellent! OWC has establish themselves as being the sine qua non of Mac computing. B&H had this in stock and shipped it to me quickly. OWC has always worked and the parts I have used to upgrade older Macs are still functioning! Highly recommend!

I had an older Macbook that needed memory. I couldn’t figure out which ones to buy. I hit the chat button at B&H, gave them the model number and in less than 30 seconds i not only get an answer, I get the link to the memory. I click on it, order, pay, and in two days it is on my doorstep. Took 10 minutes to install, works perfect. Thanks B&H.
