Mac Pro (2019) memory specifications

Find out about the types of memory (RAM) used in Mac Pro (2019).

Mac Pro has a 6-channel memory controller that supports 12 memory slots you can use to install up to 1.5 TB of memory using 2933 MHz DDR4 ECC compliant memory DIMMs. To ensure compatibility, Apple recommends that you use Apple-approved memory.

Memory requirements

When you upgrade the memory in your Mac Pro, it must meet these requirements:

  • 2933 MHz DDR4 full-length DIMM. Mixing memory speeds is not recommended.

  • Error-correcting code (ECC)

  • 8 GB, 16 GB, 32 GB, 64 GB or 128 GB DIMMs

  • Registered (R-DIMM) or Load-Reduced DIMM (LR-DIMM). Do not mix R-DIMMs and LR-DIMMs.

  • 288-pin

  • Use the same size memory modules across all slots to maximise performance.

  • DIMMs with heatsinks are not supported and may damage the DIMM mechanism.

The Mac Pro supports both R-DIMMs and LR-DIMMs, but you can't mix these two memory types. Mixing R-DIMMs and LR-DIMMs will result in a memory error flash of the status indicator light when you turn on your computer.

  • LR-DIMMs for configurations of 384 GB (6 x 64 GB) or more.

All memory included with your Mac Pro is 2933 MHz. Mac Pro models with 8 core processors operate memory at 2666 MHz.
