Hi,
I'm considering upgrading my RAM. Currently, I have 16 GB of RAM and I'm looking to expand it to 32 GB. However, the RAM model currently installed in my system, Samsung M471A2K43CB1-CTD 1x16GB, is no longer available in local stores in the Netherlands; it's only available for shipping, which incurs significant costs.
I've found a recommendation on the Crucial website (https://www.crucial.com/compatible-upgrade-for/hp-compaq/hp-zbook-studio-g5-mobile-workstation) for the Crucial 16GB DDR4-3200 SODIMM. I'm aware that this module is from another brand, which may not be optimal, and it has a higher speed. However, it would be limited to the lowest speed supported by my system (2667 MHz).
Should I go ahead and purchase this one?
Thanks, Sander

My experience: I did order Crucial RAM which said compatible but it did not work. I had to order RAM from Amazon and paid 30% more.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
