Kingston SSD's also on sale - 120GB/$60 & 240gb/$98 Delivered.
The SSD's use asynchronous flash memory which criples the speed of the SSD's
Your lucky if you get speeds up to 200MB/s .. read the review before you buy them
YOur better off with the newer mechanical drives that can R/W with speeds up to 150 - 180 MB/s
Awesome, thanks for the information. How are the Sandisk ones (around same price) compared to these Kingston ones? .
I missed out on the Kogan deal - Samsung 850 Pro 256gb/$145.As far as im aware, Samsung still use synchronous flash memory chips.
Kingston is mostly a budget component now, hence they use cheaper components and target budget systems .
They have higher end components too but considerably overpriced
@easternculture: Thanks for the information. I think I'll hold off until there is a deal again on the Samsung ones.
Kingston is not as good as it was 10 years ago
They tend to use cheaper components compared to other brands such as crucial and Gskill
Just remember they are not suited for gaming systems, just your generic celeron or i3 PC with a generic motherboard
That's… untrue to say the least. RAM is RAM. It stores data temporarily and performs according to predefined frequencies and timings. Brand has no bearing whatsoever on its suitability for a gaming computer.
You seem to have mistaken gaming for overclocking. If Kingston RAM has inferior components to alternative brands, then it's not suited for that purpose. But that purpose is pushing the hardware beyond its rated specifications. Gaming doesn't do that.
I like how you conveniently pretended that the second half of my comment just doesn't exist so you could feign superiority.
Also, don't use G.Skill as your yardstick when you're trying to look knowledgeable about components.

"I like how you conveniently pretended that the second half of my comment just doesn't exist so you could feign superiority. Also, don't use G.Skill as your yardstick when you're trying to look knowledgeable about components."I actually agree with nussbuster's comment in regards to RAM. He's technically correct, the best kind of correct.
However, I think the quoted comment is pretty much sneering easternculture as it doesn't contribute to anything except attacking his/her credibility. Although he/she might be wrong in terms of RAM in this case, I don't see him/her as feigning superiority.
Perhaps the second half of nussbuster's comment got ignored out of lack of sleep or being busy at work. People make mistakes and kudos to those who point them out, but there's no need to throw accusation around and filling others' thoughts with negativity and spite. If anything, I find nussbuster's comment rather condescending.In any case, my comment got buried by the downvote brigade so it really doesn't matter as most people won't bother reading it. I'm not new to the internet, but I do still wish people are less negative here. I do thank you for actually asking though. +v for you.
@Walletroo: I think I'll put my hand up here and say that's exactly what it was. It was the result of an overly negative reaction to being linked to a beginner's guide on something I already mentioned prior. My bad.
@Walletroo: In all fairness, it did need to be pointed out that EC was talking nonsense…hence the negs his comments got in this context.
Spreading misinformation like that; however well-intentioned it might have been; does everyone reading on a disservice. Far too many unknowing customers waste money on overpriced hardware they don't really need based on 'advice' they read in the interwebz…sad, but true.
Nice deal. If only there was benefit for me in having 32Gb of RAM instead of 16GB. That's $50 off what I paid for build 2 weeks ago :(
I don't see any DDR3-L SDRAMs here ?
Hi there do you know if this ddr3L will work fine if my laptop only support ddr3 (non-L)? TIA
If you buy the SODIMM version then it should work - e.g. http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/kingston-4gb-ddr3-1600…
Which lists:
JEDEC standard 1.35V (1.28V ~ 1.45V) and 1.5V (1.425V ~ 1.575V) Power SupplySo it's backwards-compatible with standard DDR3 (1.5V).
Thanks lololol, the only thing stopping me from buying this is because I'm not sure if my laptop mobo will support 12800 ram or only 10600 below
sorry my level of 'tech' only goes so far.
Can someone help confirm if either of these sticks of ram:
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/kingston-4gb-ddr3-1600…
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/kingston-8gb-ddr3-1600…
Would fit into the alienware alpha?
http://www.dell.com/au/p/alienware-alpha/pd?oc=y2119a1au&mod…
My research tells me yes, but it wouldnt be the first time i have done poor research for pc parts :(
Yes they will.
Sorry for a terribly novice question, but I really know nothing about RAM, other than I want to upgrade my PC's current RAM. Is there any sort of compatibility issues when it comes to RAM, or can I just get a couple sticks of something from here and swap them out for what I have currently? Is this RAM recommended?
Wouldn't recommend missmatching ram (different brands/models) together. Do you know what type of RAM your motherboard supports? DDR4 is not backward compatible or vice versa with DDR3.
Unfortunately no, not off the top of my head, and I'm at work away from my PC. Aside from mis-matching though, is it possible to just do a complete swap, buy some of this RAM, completely remove what I have currently, and pop these in and be good to go?
Sure, as long as your motherboard supports it. Ideally that is what you want to be doing, using RAM sticks of the same brand and model.
@CYMA: Is there a way to check that my motherboard will support this RAM? Also, do the MHz have a whole lot of weight in terms of difference? Thanks for your help mate.
@LegendIsReal: If you can remember the mobo model or your CPU model? Without having physical access to check it's a bit hard to give a proper answer.
@CYMA: Not at all sorry mate. What I might do if you don't mind is wait till I'm home tonight and send you a DM from there. Would that be cool? Sorry for the ignorance on my part.
@LegendIsReal: No worries. When you do check at home, you should be able to see the RAM model its sticker, a quick google of it should give you the type and freq (usually in the model name).
Also I forgot to answer your other question regarding the RAM freq, typically you would not see much performance difference and I would think 1600 Mhz or higher is fine for most people (even most gamers).
@LegendIsReal: it all runs at stock standard unless you change it in bios anyway. If your not the kind to do that just grab what ever is cheapest, it wont make to much differance.
@cyma
I also have no idea about RAM but from reading what you said, I understand more.
I have these specs for my PC below and reading online it seems it accepts ddr3.
MoBo: GB X58A-UD3R
RAM: 6GB ddr3 G.Skill TridentIf I replaced the current RAM with 2 of these below, would be suitable?
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/kingston-8gb-1600mhz-d…
@catbarf: yep, your board also does both dual and tri channel so you wouldnt need 3 ;).
The l on the end the ddr3 on these sticks means they are low profile btw, (not as tall as standard ram).
But if you want more advice email or call S.E. There very helpful.
@Slippery Fish: No it doesn't - it means low voltage.
I think this will work in that motherboard but I'm not sure.@catbarf: I'm pretty sure the X58 platform only supports up to 4gb per ram slot, so the 8gb single sticks won't work
@CheapZeng: Hmmm… from manual:
6 x 1.5V DDR3 DIMM sockets supporting up to 24 GB of system memory
Dual/3 channel memory architecture
Support for DDR3 2200/1333/1066/800 MHz memory modules
Support for non-ECC memory modules
Support for Extreme Memory Profile (XMP) memory modulesAlthough people are reporting X58 does work with 3x8GB - it's a risk.
Check out the memory support list for your motherboard.
For Gigabyte boards you can search here - http://www.gigabyte.com.au/support-downloads/download-center…
For other vendors information regarding memory support should be available on their website (e.g. ASUS posts Qualified Vendor Lists for their motherboard memory support)
Just Wondering, will Shopping Express send out those RAMs with a tracking or just normal bubble envelop?
Mine was just in a bubble envelope
They will use both.
Saw "envelop", thought "Eneloop", got excited.
Sad.
Free shipping on the 1610T microserver as well. I was going to build my own, now I'm not so sure.
Can any of these be used for apple MBP??
Thanks OP!
Was just looking for RAM for my late 2008 macbook unibody.
I couldn't see 8GB 1066MHz DDR3 RAM (2 x 4GB) in the site..
Can I use the 1600MHz one here instead or is that not recommended?
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/kingston-8gb-ddr3-1600…edit: Also is this a good choice for a HDD upgrade for my macbook? Was thinking of getting rid of the optical drive and switching with this
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/seagate-thin-laptop-ss…
The faster ram will automatically clock down to 1066.
And yea get an SSD for the macbook. You will need to also buy a caddy.
Will look into the caddy + SSD. Cheers!
To the best of my understanding you should be fine, the ram just clocks back to the slower speed. Msg the seller first though incase there is a compatability issue with your system. It SHOULD work though.
Thank you!
In my experience Macs are fussy with RAM. If yours takes 1066MHz RAM then only that frequency will work, 1600MHz won't. ie unlike a PC where it would be fine
Ah I hope this isn't the case.. Thanks for the input mate appreciate it!
bought 8GB DDR3, free shipping as well, thanks OP
How come 2133mhz has a higher rrp than the 2400mhz??!!
As stuff gets older it sometimes goes up in price.
Availability of 2400mhz might be higher in the marketplace / or supplier did a bigger manufacturing run = lower prices
Thanks OP. Upgraded the ram in my laptop and G1610T microserver. Just a note you have "HP NAS G1610D $289" in your title I think you meant "G1610T".
Just to make sure, you did get ECC RAM for your G1610T microserver, right?
Yep picked up the KVR16E11/8I. From what I've read the one with "I" at the end is Intel G1610T compatible where the KVR16E11/8 one is not.
Cool bananas. Hope it'll be useful for you!
I want another stick of Kingston but not sure whether to wait. Can anyone foresee the price coming down further soon?
No, computer components always increase in price overtime. You will never see these prices again.
Would it be best to use the RAM that is recommended by the Kingston Memory Search: http://www.kingston.com/en/memory/search/Options
Or if all the specifications are the same is there no issue?
I get a different model number when using the memory search tool, but the specs seem to be the same on the surface at least.
Noob question - can DDR4 memory be used where DDR3 was previously??
Or are there actual hardware compatibility differences?No it can't. Generally a motherboard will only support one type of RAM.
So DDR4 RAM would not be compatible with a Motherboard that supports DDR3 RAM.
I know it is old but would the 8GB ECC Ram DIMM be suitable for a HP N36L?
I thinking of re-purposing it for a NAS running ZFS.The manual says "C3-10600E DDR3 Unbuffered (UDIMM) ECC" but i'm assuming the ram would just run slower?
Seem like decent prices but it should be noted their 'RRP' prices are ridiculous.
Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB DDR4 2133 Mhz (2x8GB) at $99 - RRP $384.91
MSY sells the same part for $107 so you're saving a few dollars but no where near what they're trying to say. Just warning anyone who might not be in the know.
Oh my the DDR4s are so cheap…I bought them double the price last year.
Looks like you bought Double Dollar Rate 4 RAM. A common mistake.
So I bought two of these:
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/kingston-4gb-ddr3-1600mhz-non-ecc-sodimm/KVR16LS114
to upgrade my Asus K72F, but they don't work.
The only thing that's different from my search on the Kingston website is the frequency. I'm guessing the K72F motherboard can't handle the 1600mhz RAM.
Would that be right?
Hi Guys,
I have a HP ProLiant G8 MicroServer G1610T NAS and want to upgrade it's RAM to the maximum 16GB.
Is it better to get this
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/kingston-8gb-ddr3-1600…
or this
https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/crucial-16gb-kit-8gbx2-ddr3-160…
Also, what do I do with the original 2GB RAM stick? I will have to take it out and have no use for it.
Kogan is not ECC, so that means SE by default.
Put the old RAM in the drawer just in case, or get rid of it - not much use for anything else.Thanks mate.
So non ECC means it won't work?Maybe I should wait for this deal again.
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/236140
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008EMA5VUActually, the pages for RAM upgrades for that server that I'd looked at were all saying ECC but looking at some others I'm not sure that's the case.
When I do a search on the Kingston website for RAM compatible with the Gen8 G1610T it only shows KTH-PL316E/8G.
Is it better to get the KVR16E11/8I in this deal or go with what the website recommends?I went ahead and got this instead.
2 x KTH-PL316E/8G
http://www.megabuy.com.au/kingston-kth-pl316e8g-8gb-1600mhz-…
Came to $188.98 incl shipping.Kingston website listed this as the only one compatible with the HP G1610T.
Also saw this post which confirms it works.
http://homeservershow.com/forums/index.php?/topic/6031-my-ge…This deal would have come to $199.95 including shipping.
http://www.shoppingexpress.com.au/buy/kingston-8gb-ddr3-1600…
So more expensive and I think the RAM I got is better.
Coming up with delivery for me is deal still on with free delivery?
Always loved Kingston RAM for as long as I remember…. great value, everyone seems to have it, works flawlessly (really low failure rate for me)
