 Works with Cisco ASA 5505 for ASA 8.3 minimum requirements Apr 21, 2010
By C Buddy
Update: Make sure you read the comments below before buying for your ASA5505. This item is only confirmed to work with earlier model ASA5505. Check your ASA5505 hardware revision first.
Bought this specifically for a low cost alternative for the ASA 8.3 minimum upgrade requirements of 512MB RAM on a Cisco 5505. Worked on the first try. Yes, ASA 8.3 will load and run with 256MB, but it displays a warning on the CLI and ASDM that not all advanced features will work. Well, for under $30 you can sidestep the issue. I did try with a 512MB DDR Unbuffered ECC stick with no joy. The 5505 just displays a red light and seems to absolutely require non-ECC (the cheap stuff ;)) RAM. This unit installs flawlessly with no modification to the shell/cage even though it is a little taller than the original 5505 256MB RAM chip. Also, I believe (have read, but did not try) that you can put a 1GB UB non-ECC DDR stick in the 5505, but it will only recognize the first 512MB.

Perfect! Nov 03, 2009
By R. Brown
After using the internet to identify which "stick" my computer would accept, I purchased this one. It was delivered as promised.
I shut my computer off, opened it up. It fit right into my computers mother board and after turning everything back on, the improvement was immediately noticeable.
No complaints.

Good Investment Nov 09, 2006
By Budael2000
The only thing I could say is that I needed, my computer has a good video chip from ATI but the problem was the memory it uses for display is shared memory from RAM. Once I upgrade it the computer works a lot better and faster so I waste less time to do same jobs.

Perfect RAM Upgrade for Cisco ASA5505 Feb 26, 2011
By RFSTech, Inc
Purchased this RAM upgrade for a Cisco ASA5505. This is the third aftermarket RAM upgrade and the ONLY one that works properly. The first upgrade (not purchased from Amazon or Crucial) sent the unit into a constant reboot cycle so it was completely unusable. The second upgrade (also not purchased from Amazon or Crucial) appeared to work but made certain functions, such as loading the config after launching ASDM or saving the config after changes in ASDM, somewhat slow. Also, with the second aftermarket upgrade, certain changes to the config in ASDM would cause the device to reboot and lose all the changes up to that point. It also would go into a reboot cycle for 3-10 times before actually booting successfully on rare occasions. In other words, the second upgrade appeared to work just fine but made the code seem unstable. After installing the Crucial RAM in this review, the unit was completely stable and all actions, from booting to reconfiguration, seemed to happen much quicker. Regarding the background of the device, older ASA5505 devices come with 256MB RAM. This is not enough to install 8.3 code or greater. There were significant improvements in 8.3 (and now 8.4) that make the upgrade highly recommended. Please note that if performing a code upgrade on a production unit you will want to read the Cisco release notes VERY CAREFULLY! Especially if upgrading from 7.x code to 8.3 or 8.4. All in all, I'm very happy with this RAM upgrade and ordered another three DIMMs to upgrade three more ASA5505 devices.
Update 2/27/2011: Tried 2nd RAM upgrade in another Cisco ASA5505 and after the unit heats up and you try to reboot, all lights on the device start to blink and it never boots. Let it cool down and it works again. Bottom line: The ASA5505 seems to be VERY particular about the RAM used in it. I have two more of the same RAM upgrades on order. I'll test and update this review after I receive them. I guess it's possible I just received a bad stick of RAM.
