I purchased this RAM used for diagnostic purposes since I do not have any established DDR3L (and I can put this to good use so I’m not wasting it once I’m done with what I need it for) but I’m not sure if this is Apple OEM or retail modules that just happen to be black. I suspect it’s Apple RAM based on the PCB, but I also know black RAM is available open market now. Is this look like OEM Apple (no warranty) or retail Micron with a warranty?
@nick as I am finding out I am getting old. I am a bit confused by your question. The memory modules are Micron. It is my understanding that Apple does not produce their RAM but buys it from multiple suppliers. The most common I see are Micron and Samsung with Hynix and IBM in the past. Let me know if I missed something. As for warranty etc., Micron’s retail brand name is Crucial Technology, their products carry a 3 Year or limited lifetime warrant
Yes, it can be OEM but only in the 2012 machines.
