Mac Mini Mid-2010 memory kit

This 16 GB kit contains two 8 GB DDR3 1066 MHz SO-DIMM modules built to the PC3-8500 standard. It is designed specifically for the Apple Mac Mini "Core 2 Duo" 2.66 (Mid-2010) and uses major-brand chips on unbuffered, non-ECC circuit boards. Each stick carries a CL7 7-7-7 timing at 1.5 V and fits the 204-pin SODIMM slot.

Buyers with the exact Mac Mini model

The upgrade suits owners of the Mac Mini 4,1 (A1347) running OS X 10.7.5 or later with current EFI firmware, because that configuration unlocks the full 16 GB capacity. It will not help users whose Mac Mini remains on an older operating system or firmware that limits the machine to 8 GB. The kit is also unsuitable for any system that requires ECC or registered memory.

16 GB total capacity across two modules

The decisive specification is the matched pair of 8 GB DDR3 1066 SO-DIMMs that together provide 16 GB, the maximum addressable amount once the Mid-2010 Mac Mini meets the software and firmware requirements. Without that capacity the system stays at the original 8 GB ceiling.

Questions about this item

Will these 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM modules fit the two slots in my Mac Mini A1347?

Yes, the kit provides two 204-pin DDR3 SO-DIMM sticks that match the Mac Mini A1347 slot layout exactly.

What is the installation step people often miss when upgrading this Mac Mini to 16 GB?

After inserting both 8 GB modules, you must update the EFI firmware and run OS X 10.7.5 or later, otherwise the system will not recognise the full 16 GB.

Do these unbuffered non-ECC modules need any periodic cleaning or replacement?

No routine cleaning is required; the modules are solid-state with no moving parts and carry a limited lifetime warranty from Computer Memory Solutions.
