Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hi there,
I would like to update my iMac from 8gb of RAM to 32gb RAM (because this is maximum from what I see on the internet).
So, my model is: 27inch - Retina 5K - 6-core Intel Core i5 at 3,0 GHz
I would like to tell you that I don't look for something cheap, I want performance.
What model of ram you recomend me to use ? (link please)

Hello bud, Thanks for replying.
Are you sure I can put 128 GB of ram ? because on apple website tell max 32GB.
My model is: MRQYxx/A https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201634
Where did you find this information ?
Thanks.
Yes, I'm sure. This is always the case. Apple publishes the RAM specs at the time of release. Before the third party vendors have made the chips. Their chips are lower profile so they can fit into the slots.

Actually that's not why but I won't quibble. :)
I thought you'd never ask. :)
If you look at the two other options they are available up to 64GB. So it's not the profile. FWIW, to my knowledge, with the exception of the iMac Pro, Apple has never offered the max RAM. I expect it's a price point issue.
Well, I use Adobe Suite: Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere.
I need a very good performance in those programs also when I render a video or export it with premiere.
Also right now I have FusionDrive, Should I replace it with SSD ?
I want to use this https://eshop.macsales.com/item/OWC/TB3ENVP20/ Instead of his FusionDrive and to install macOs on it and use it as primary volume (also the adobe suite on ssd) because if I change his own drive I loose my waranty so I will use an external SSD and his internal fusion drive just for storage.
What do you think ?
You can do that but an external SSD will not be as fast as one that is internal. FWIW your Adobe apps should be fine with the Fusion Drive because the apps will be on the SSD, I'd wait until warranty is expired for the internal SSD upgrade.
Yes, but I noted that it can be upgraded to 128 MB. 😎
BTW - Your chocolate chip cookie profile pic has left the room.

Nuh uh…
Try refreshing the page.
Let's say your theory is good. But why on iMac PRO there already exists 256GB of ram ?
I think the speed is very good: Up to 2500MB/s on Thunderbolt 3. Take a look again. Its faster than any FusionDrive existent on market.

I should have used your link. 😎
I think someone ate it.
