Computer booted right up and moves much faster, works great. Review: 10GB works great in mid-2010 mac mini server - 4 YEAR UPDATE (2024/5/7): it’s been 4 years and my mac mini with 10GB of RAM is still rockin it! I’ve since switched to running Ubuntu Server 22.04.4 LTS which is super lightweight and CasaOS manages server configuration using a web interface. The server is currently running 4 media servers (Emby (x2), Jellyfin, Plex), Syncthing, Duplicati (backup server), samba (file server), DuckDNS + Wireguard to create a secure tunnel into our network. With all this running, all I see is the CPU maxed out every so often [due to AVI transcoding which I eliminated] and as I predicted, I never see 10GB maxed out so even though this RAM is half the price of when I bought it, I still see no need to go to the full 16GB. Perhaps if it starts ad blocking (Pi-hole) and managing home automation (Home Assistant) but for now - quite the happy camper for a machine going on 15 years! I did quite a bit of research and from what I found, as long as you buy the right speced RAM, a mid-2010 mac mini server with a max spec of 8GB will support 16GB (or a pair of these 8GB sticks) I wasn't ready to shell out for a pair when my gut said jumping from 4 to 10GB was a good size jump to toy around w Xcode development. worst case, if my machine barfs going over 8GB, I'll just have a single 8GB stick which is technically the max certified by Apple on this machine. I figured this was a calculated risk. I'm also well aware that mismatched memory pairs are not recommended by IT admins & to be honest, my 2007 MacBook never complained about having 1+2=3GB in it for 13 years. I had no reason to think this mac was going to complain and after a month, its working just fine & when you have light loads, macOS uses the extra RAM to cache files it looks. I was right about 10GB, the real bottleneck in this mini is not the RAM, it's the Core2Duo which is often slammed. that said, the machine suffered very badly with it's default 4GB esp if you upgrade to a patched version of Catalina (10.15.4). Point being, I will not be investing in a second 8GB stick - I don't think 16GB will make a difference w the CPU bottleneck. Go back to High Sierra on 10GB and it performs much much better. take a trip down memory lane and go back to Mountain Lion Server 10.8 and the machine is super snappy (esp if you upgrade at least one of its 2 HDDs to an SSD) Overall, it makes the mini good for running background server processes (I'm running 2 instances of Emby and AltServer & plan to get Apache and maybe a few others up) Now I wouldnt recommend the upgrade (for a mid-2010 mac mini) for Xcode development - it's a toy at best. This was only meant to be a stopgap until I can get my hands on a new mac w Apple Silicon and I've had a 2018 iPad Pro to hold me the last 3 months and it's been great. Now if you can get a 8GB stick for $25 (or two for $40!), this would be an excellent deal! ## Features - NOTE: Apple OS 10.7.5 or Later REQUIRED for utilization of more than 8GB of total system memory and need to updated with the latest EFI - DDR3 1066MHz PC3-8500 204-Pin Unbuffered Non ECC 1.5V CL7 Dual Rank 2Rx8 based 512x8 Module Size: 16GB KIT(2x8GB) Package: 2x8GB Guaranteed Lifetime warranty from Purchase Date Free technical support - Compatible for Apple Mac Book - 13 inch Mid 2010 - Mac Book7,1 (2.4 GHz) - Compatible for Apple Mac Book Pro -13 inch Mid 2010 - Mac Book Pro7,1 (2.4 GHz, 2.66GHz) - Compatible for Apple iMac - 27 inch Late 2009 - iMac11,1 (2.66 GHz, 2.8GHz) - Compatible for Apple Mac Mini - Mid 2010 – MacMini4,1(2.4GHz, 2.66GHz, Server) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07QGX5NYP | | Additional Features | Lightweight | | Best Sellers Rank | #175 in Computer Memory | | Brand | Timetec | | Column Address Strobe Latency | 7 | | Compatible Devices | Laptop | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (1,768) | | Data Transfer Rate | 1066 MHz | | Form Factor | SO-DIMM | | Manufacturer | Timetec | | Memory Speed | 1066 MHz | | Model Name | Mac Series | | Number of Pins | 204 | | RAM Memory Technology | DDR3 | | RAM Size | 16 GB | | UPC | 765441341623 | | Voltage | 1.5 Volts | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Timetec - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop - **Computer Memory Size:** 16 GB - **Memory Speed:** 1066 MHz - **RAM Memory Technology:** DDR3 ## Images ![16GB KIT(2x8GB) Compatible for Apple DDR3 1067MHz / 1066MHz PC3-8500 RAM for Mac Book (Mid-2010 13-inch), Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010 13-inch), iMac (Late 2009 27-inch), Mac Mini (Mid 2010)MAC RAM - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71eHHC4B7QL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Quisiera saber si es compatible para una MacBook Air del 2010?** A: No funciona la macbook air 2010 trae la memoria soldada al board no se la puedes cambiar a menos que desueldes la que trae y soldarle una de mas capacidad yo por lo menos no lo recomiendo es muy ariesgado y ouedes dańar el board .Ese es uno de los defectos de la macbook air no puedes ańadirle mas memoria a la que trae de fabrica. **Q: Dose it work for surveillance sanctuary audio feed** A: I don't think so. **Q: is this compatible with a mid-2013 Mac Air 11 inch?** A: No. This memory is not compatible with your mid-2013 Mac Air 11 inch.

As you could imagine, my computer was ridiculously slow. It would take about 10 to 15 seconds just to open Excel or Word or even Chrome sometimes, and I experienced excruciating lag when even just typing in a text field like the search bar or an Excel cell. Not anymore! I was a little worried about the warning from Timetec in the Amazon product info section that I would most likely have to update my EFI Firmware to the latest version because, not being a computer guy, I honestly had no idea what this meant especially with such an old computer running an outdated OS. However, Mac's software update web page allows you to search and then narrow the results by Mac model, so the EFI updates were easy to find (turns out, with Sierra, I didn't even need to update the EFI firmware). So, I installed the new RAM (took all of 5 minutes using the very straightforward provided instructions) and turned the computer back on. It booted up with no issues, although it did take a few extra minutes this very first time after the install. I wish I could give a more technical review, but again I'm not a computer guy. All I can tell you is that with this new RAM, this old laptop now runs like a brand new one with no ridiculous lag or delays with any process. This has saved me several hundred dollars, as I was about a week or two away from saying f*ck it and just buying a new computer. Couldn't be more happy with this purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - Timetec 16GB KIT(2x8GB) Compatible for Apple DDR3 1067MHz / 1066MHz PC3-8500 RAM for Mac Book (Mid 2010 13-inch), Mac Book Pro (Mid 2010 13-inch), iMac (Late 2009 27-inch), Mac Mini (Mid 2010) MAC RAM - Timetec 16GB KIT(2x8GB) Compatible for Apple DDR3L 1600MHz for Early/Mid/Late Mac Book Pro(2011-2012), iMac(2011-2015), Mac Mini(2011-2012) MAC RAM --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/123684494-16gb-kit-2x8gb-compatible-for-apple-ddr3-1067mhz-1066mhz-pc3](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/123684494-16gb-kit-2x8gb-compatible-for-apple-ddr3-1067mhz-1066mhz-pc3) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
