OWC has confirmed today that the RAM it’s been offering for the Mac Pro starting from $500 is compatible with the rack-mounted Mac Pro that recently hit the market. Customers looking to save on upgrading can also take advantage of OWC’s memory trade-in program.
A couple of weeks ago, Apple released the rack mount version of the Mac Pro after making the standard Mac Pro tower available back in December. The rack-mount version carries a $500 premium and has a few other differences, like how the case opens to accommodate the rails that allow it to be mounted horizontally.
Today OWC has verified in a press release that its RAM for the Mac Pro is compatible with the rack-mounted model. The company highlights that it has “sold thousands of kits for the Mac Pro” already and is ready to offer the RAM upgrades to rack-mount Mac Pro customers.
OWC offers 64GB and 128GB 2933MHz DDR4 PC4-23400 LRDIMM RAM modules that can be purchased on their own, or in kits up to 1.5TB of RAM with pricing starting at $500 and going up to $19,999.
The company says customers can save up to 65% on RAM upgrades compared to buying from Apple when taking advantage of the memory trade-in program.
OWC also shared a recommendation guide on upgrading your Mac Pro RAM based on what configuration you have:
