Mac mini, macOS 10.13

16GB max and your best bet, is to order the correct spec'ed 1600MHz DDR3L SO-DIMM PC12800 204 Pin modules directly from either OWC macsales or Crucial.

That is correct.

  1. All Mac's are very sensitive to the RAM spec's.
  2. The Late 2012 Mac Mini has a DDR3 controller and memory slots.
  3. DDR3 and DDR4 modules have different notch locations and are not interchanged.
