T420s RAM suggestions?

#1 Post by mbarker » Mon Feb 27, 2017 12:30 pm

Simple question here for those in the know: I'd like to upgrade my T420s to 16GB RAM and am looking for specific suggestions of 2x8GB modules to purchase. I've read the old threads, but I'm asking again because I don't keep up on memory pricing/availability and know nothing about what brands/specs are better than others. So what is the best current option? Thanks in advance.

I currently have my T430s and T420s maxed out to 16gb ram each with the ram below. No issues or problems with the ram...

I usually find the best prices for memory by buying used on eBay. ThinkPads aren't picky about memory these days. With eBay you've sort of got a 45 day warranty, so if something goes bad in the first 45 days, you can dispute it and chances you'll win are like 99.99999999999%. If you make it to 45 days issue free, the chances you'll have one down the road are very small.
