HMT325S6BFR8C compatible with Intel NUC? [YES]

I have two Intel NUC’s that were equipped with 16GB of RAM (2x8GB DDR SODIMMs). The little PCs were originally intended for server use where the relatively vast amount of memory would have been useful. The RAM kits were also purchased when prices were rather absurdly low (around $60-$80). Unfortunately, since then RAM prices have  doubled. 🙁

These two machines never actually made it into server usage. They ended up being used around the house for a simple HTPC setup and for my wife’s desktop PC. 16GB of RAM is a little overkill for those purposes so I am going to remove the RAM and use it in some workstation laptops or possibly sell the memory on eBay to someone that can use it. However, that leaves me with the task of finding some lower capacity memory to put back in the NUCs. Here is what I had on hand:

So how did this RAM work in the NUCs? I am pleased to report, it worked very well! No performance problems and everything has been rock solid when it comes to reliability. 🙂
