I just got off a chat with Crucial and he said it will work in a 2011 mac mini. The big question for me is why Apple says 8 is the limit?

It worked for my IMac I don't really know what about Mac mini. The specs for my IMac also said max per slot 4gb but I read 8 will work too and that's it.

I only can tell you , that this is working in a 13-inch MacBook Pro Mid 2012.I replaced my two 2GB Ram's against 1 8GB Kingston Module. It is working perfect.

yes, an upgrade to 4gb ram can be done. i have the same model and had 2 times 1 gb added. the mac minni is pretty hard to open and you,ll have to get the suitable ram. instructins to an upgrade can be googled. i recommend getting the 2010 model. you,ll save money and time plus the 4gb ram and a hdmi socket are built in. btw the mac mini remains to this da the best apple product. don,t miss it!

There is a page on Apple's website that may answer you question (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1270?viewlocale=en_US#link1). Your Mac does not support 16GB of RAM, though 8GB are enough to run both these programs smoothly. This memory is not the right choice for your Mac, as it is (PC3 - 12800), and your Mac requires (PC3 - 8500). I've already searched the one that is just right, which is in this link: http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-PC3-8500-SODIMM-204-Pin-CT2K4G3S1067M/dp/B008LTBJFM/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1413312655&sr=1-1&keywords=Crucial+8GB+Kit+%284GBx2%29+DDR3+%28PC3+-+8500%29

Yes it should. Mac mini's use the same memory as laptops because of their size and the PC2-5300 is the proper speed rating for your Mac Mini. You can go to www.crucial.com to look it up.Hanh.

Kinda late, but if you still need to know, I wouldn't be worried about compatibility. You might need an adapter though. I don't know what ports a mac mini has.

My Macpro is from late 2011 and the memory works fine, but I can not say anything about mid2010. Regards

The Memory controller of the Mac Mini does not support 1866 ram, if you install this ram you will be stuck at speeds of 1600 mhz. You are better off opting for the cheaper 16 gb 1600 mhz kits.

I am an engineer and gave the memory a thorough testing using memtest. I have been consistently using more 80% of the available 16 Gb with demanding applications and have not had any problems. The jump from 8 to 16 made an enormous difference on my 15" Mid 2012 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.2.

More than likely, yes, it will work with one port for the Mac Mini. It has a USB Y-Cable that you only need to use the main USB (thicker cord on it), unless it isn't getting enough power, then you have to use the second one to "boost" the power going to the drive (like if you're running a laptop off of strictly battery power, etc.). You should be fine. Also, it costs a little bit more out-of-pocket, but if you're worried about it, buy a POWERED USB Extender (with anywhere from 2-10 extra USB ports) and plug it into your Mac Mini to give yourself more options and less worries. -Just a thought.

I bought 16GB of RAM for my 27-inch iMac with Retina 5K that I purchased in Dec of 2014. It's working great! As others have said, install in slot 2 and 4. Basically, I didn't take out the original RAM from Apple and just inserted the ones I purchased. That's it. It was good to go. I upgraded from 8GB to 24GB.

My Mac runs just fine I admit I didn't pay that much attention to it other then proper installation. I'm running four 4gb cards and there hasn't been an issue. I do advise the if you are only upgrading meaning adding ram not replacing. Leave the original ram in its original location and just add the new ram to the open slots. Hope that help you in your decision.

Yes I think it will. Check the specks of the Mac mini, if it says it has ddr3 memory then this will work

Not for desktop, you need netbook RAM (204-pin); mac mini's comes with R3 2 slots and its max ram capacity is 16Gb (2x8Gb).
