Purpose-built Mac Mini upgrade

This 16 GB kit targets the Mac Mini 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 (MC816LL/A) that shipped with two slots populated. It replaces the factory modules so the system reaches its 32 GB ceiling without mixing speeds or voltages.

Dual-channel 1333 MHz DDR3 SO-DIMM

Two unbuffered 8 GB sticks run at PC3-10600 with CL9 9-9-9 timing at 1.5 V. The 204-pin DDR3 form factor is the sole spec that decides fit; any other generation or pin count will not seat in this Mac.

Fills both factory slots for maximum capacity

Installing the pair uses the two available sockets and frees no extra slots for later expansion. Buyers who want more storage or a discrete graphics option need a different Mac model, because this memory upgrade only addresses RAM capacity.

Questions about this item

What does 1333 MHz DDR3 mean for my Mac Mini?

The kit runs at 1333 MHz DDR3 so the Mac Mini 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 (MC816LL/A) will see the full 16 GB at its native bus speed without down-clocking.

Is this a 204-pin SO-DIMM and what does PC3-10600 limit?

Yes, each module is a 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM rated PC3-10600, which caps the transfer rate at 10600 MB/s on the Mac Mini's memory controller.

Will the two 8 GB sticks fit the four slots in this Mac Mini?

The Mac Mini 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 (MC816LL/A) has four SO-DIMM sockets supporting up to 32 GB total, so the two 8 GB sticks install directly in any two slots.
