Great Deal - Great RAM
By Biswaon
This is actually a real value for money product. I had previously installed Hyper X Ram of 8 GB so I thought that it would be an issue after I places the order since two different makes would not be compatible. But I just took my chanes and plugged it in. You know what, it works just fine. Now I have 16GB RAM and this 8GB ram is the best value for money offer once can get I guess.Cheers!
beast of a ram
By Shubhagatoon
I guess the best one.. Killer..Increased my speed.. No frequent lags n no need of ctrl+alt+del anymore. It combined well with my old 2gb ram of other brand. Though its not proper dual channel set up bt its doing job by increasing over all ram memory to 10gb.It also automatically adapted latency setring of the othet ram so the setup was not at all an issue.Best part is. . it increased the integrated hd graphics memory automatically and certainly did a whole lot of a great to me..
OUTSTANDING.....RAM
By Sayak Bhowalon
Awesome Product....this brand truly deserves a clap..!! this was my 2nd purchase though(the same product).... now I have 16 GB RAM.....nd these RAMs r working just outstanding.!! no need of installing....nd any other sys changes..!! just BUY it...
Superb, Definitely value for money
By Rama Krishna Chundurion
Unlike cheap RAM modules, This RAM is working great and offering the frequency as promised. Love the heat sync given with it, distribute heat evenly so my normal AIR cooler is able to cool down. Thanks Corsair and Amazon.
BEWARE! RAM speed may be Incompatible!
By Samarth Saxenaon
I've purchased this RAM from flipkart.Iam having latest HP Envy Ultrabook with Kingston 4GB DDR3 RAM 1600MHz,
Today I added the additional RAM of vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz in 2nd port and the overall RAM in my system got upgraded to 12GB, But soon I realized the speed of RAM given in task manager as 1333MHz. I removed my Kingston RAM and again checked this Vengeance RAM alone in ultrabook. It showed 1600MHz. I again inserted the Kingston RAM and the speed again got downgraded to 1333MHz.
RAM should always be inserted of same model in 2nd port as 1st port to get the most optimal performance, Like Kinston 2x4 RAM modules
Wrong reviews
By Sujit Tom Joseon
I've seen that some guys experience speed is lowered by using this RAM. That problem has nothing to do with the RAM. That's the way computer hardware works. If you use 2 different RAM of different specification, the running specification will be the lowest configuration set. So if you have one 1600 MHz and other 1333MHz RAMs in your computer/laptop, the actual running speed for both RAM will be 1333MHz which is the lowest in the set installed. If you're using one 1600 MHz and one 800 MHz, then the running configuration will be on 800 MHz. So if you want a running speed o1600 MHz, you should install RAM with minimum speed of 1600 MHZ. If you use one 1600 MHz and one 1800 MHz, you'll get 1600 MHz actual running speed.
Works with mid-2012 13'' i5 Macbook Pro !
By Rohan Rajaon
Installed 2 of these in my Apple MD101 and worked flawlessly, though the RAM is not Apple certified. Installed it with Samsung 840 Pro 256GB SSD and now the mac boots really fast as well as multitasking is also very smooth. The mammoth 16 GB RAM enabled me to use some part of RAM as super fast RAMDisk for saving caches and temporary files at speeds up to 2-4 GBps.
WS RETAIL PLEASE GET THIS RAM ASAP :)
By Ankit padhiaron
seems like a Fantastic RAM , and it is for hard-core Gamers. only prob is a bit high price due to Some Other Sellers than flipkart ( WS retail ).
Waiting ( desperately ) for WS retail to get this RAM asap .
this particular RAM having 10 latency ( described as 9 but it will give 10 ) , which is something very good for Notebooks .
--AUTO OVERCLOCKING -- ( you dnt need to go in bios for settings and all that )
WS RETAIL , come back with this again !!!
Great Product, Great Pricing
By Lakshmi Narayanan Gon
First of all, I would like to point out the small inaccuracy in the Product Description. The latency is not CAS 9 as mentioned, but CAS 10. You can verify this from Corsair website itself. For Laptop RAMs they don't yet have a DDR3 1600 MHZ CAS 9 latency RAM module.
Now coming to the actual product, I don't have anything to say against it. It works perfectly as is expected from a Corsair product. All the other specifications are bang on target and Working with virtualization has become easier for me now.
The only con I found was with the packaging. Flipkart was known for their great packaging once upon a time. But sadly, they're losing on that side nowadays. It was packed in an ordinary Flipkart branded courier cover. I vaguely remember me a friend ordering some rechargable batteries over a year ago for some 200 - 300 bucks and receiving it a well packed box. A 4500 worth RAM module was packed in an ordinary courier cover.
One star knocked off for the poor packaging.
Other than that, the delivery was quite prompt. Placed order on May 17, around 1.00 AM, order was accepted on the same morning around 7.00 AM, got the RAM module delivered from Delhi to Chennai on May 18th afternoon. Thoroughly impressed with the promptness of it.
received what was said
By Anilon
the packaging was very terrible , it had some 10 rounds of brown tape all over the box making it extremely difficult to remove the product.
I normally buy from Nehru Place , New Delhi and this was about 200 rupees cheaper, but the warranty card was missing.The previous one I bought from Nehru Place had the warranty card.
I am not sure how I can avail the warranty if & when required because in Nehru Place the dealer will replace across the counter if there is a problem during warranty.
Very Good
By Himal Janion

Great Ram
By Rabinon
Performance is great for every day use and Playing Games.
Performance RAM with great reliablity
By Ciscoon
This RAM gives good performance and has 10 yrs warranty. Never had to RMA Corsair RAM. Spend a few rupees more and get this. RAM has low-profile so is unlikely to cause obstruction to graphic cards.
Just what I hoped for.
By Aniket Patnion
I bought a pair of these for my Macbook. I wanted them as soon as possible, and placed an call order from Flipkart on thursday night. And they were here on Saturday morning, earlier than the minimum delivery time of 2 days. That too from Delhi to Pune. Thank you for the promptness Flipkart, and mr. Afzal, who I spoke to. He said he would try his best and he delivered. Big thank you to you.
I have a MacBook Pro Late 2011 model, which had 4GB RAM. Replaced it with these babies, and even though 16GB is not officially supported on the website, they work perfect. (8gb sticks weren't around in 2011, and Apple just never bothered to test when they came out :\) Installation was super simple, and is documented on the Apple Support page itself. My performance has turned around completely, from sluggishness and lag to working on a 2.8gb PSB file without a single hitch. I'd recommend this for anyone who experiences any sort of slowdown on their mac. Best way is to check Activity Monitor and look for 'Page-outs'. I used to get page outs of over 25GB! And right, zero :D I'm running heavy photoshop files, about 8 tabs in Safari, iTunes, and connected to bluetooth speakers, and not one single slowdown. I'm finally getting the performance I paid for.
Thank you so much Flipkart. You guys are amazing. This is my 8th purchase from you'll, and I'm still in awe of the efficiency at which you operate. Cheers!
Works fine on my Mac mini !!!
By Bharathirajaon
I added this 8 GB to one of the slot and the other carried 2 GB already so 8+2=10 GB!... My dead slow mac mini now runs so fast...
not compatible with iMac
By Gopal Patelon
although it claimed to be worked with iMac, it did not.
I had to replace the ram, but new one didnt worked either.
do not buy it for iMac.
Best RAM for MacBook Pro
By DEEPAK GOYALon
The local Apple authorised reseller (in Ludhiana) was selling the same RAM at a much higher price. I opened the Flipkart website and showed him the Flipkart price. But he was not willing to give at a lower price, plus he was charging Rs 1000/- extra for installing the new RAM in my MacBook Pro. So i decided to buy it from Flipkart only. I ordered on 7th April at 4 pm and the RAM was delivered on 9th April at 2 pm ! After receiving the delivery from Flipkart, I was able to change the the RAM myself -- by seeing a tutorial on youtube and reading on Apple website. It is very easy. Anybody can do it. The screws on MacBook Pro can be opened using a kitchen knife ! It took me only 5 minutes to install the new RAM on my MacBook.
Updated the RAM on MacBook Pro Early 2011 (MacBook 8,1)
By Prakash Dongaon
The delivery was super fast got in 1 day :) thanks for this service.
Now this review is really important for all MacBook Pro Early 2011. I have installed this 8GB RAM in one slot and keep the old 2 GB RAM as it is. So now total is 10 GB. Apple do recommends to use dual mode RAM as 8+8 GB. But currently it working fine.
This RAM is recommend for all MacBook Pro users with model Early 2011.
