Crucial Pro 2x24GB DDR5 6000MHz Memory Kit Review

Memory by stefan @ 2024-01-21

The capacities of 24GB or 48GB per module were quite unusual until recently and, on both AMD, Intel platforms UEFI updates were necessary in order to fit such kits and be able to boot. The extra capacity is appreciated and, from our tests we have observed that the Crucial Pro 48GB can offer quite a bit of performance by using the same timings, up to 6600MHz.

Packaging, A Closer Look

After checking out the regular Crucial DDR5 Classic modules, it is now time to look upon the Pro series, which is integrating heat spreaders as well. The modules we have received in our labs do have a capacity of 24GB each, for a total of 48GB, a frequency of 6000MHz and multiple XMP / EXPO profiles. The kit is shipped inside a simple cardboard/plastic enclosure, which allows the potential customer to see how the modules do really look, instead of checking out a product photo:

 

 

 

On the packaging, we will be also reminded of the compatible platforms:

 

 

 

The back side does include a product description, but also some main highlights, in different languages:

 

 

 

The two modules can be easily removed from the dedicated packaging:

 

 

 

On the frontal area of the heat spreader, we will note the Crucial logo, but also the product name in white, on a black background; we appreciate the fact that the PCB is black as well, which gives an overall professional look:

 

 

 

The back side does come with a similar design, only that an extra, central sticker is included, which does show the internal code name of the module, the capacity, the running speed, the rated voltage but also the CAS latency:

 

 

 

A nice central logo is present in the top area as well!

 

 

 

A closer look under the module does reveal the fact that we are dealing with a single-sided build:
