Dell 370-15665 16GB DDR3-1066MHz RDIMM 2Rx4 CL7 Memory

Product Description

The Dell 370-15665 is a high-capacity 16GB memory module designed to significantly boost the performance and multitasking capabilities of compatible Dell server and workstation systems. This module utilizes DDR3 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) technology, operating at a clock speed of 1066MHz, which corresponds to a PC3-8500 data transfer rate. As a Registered DIMM (RDIMM), it features an onboard register that buffers command and address signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller. This allows for greater memory density and improved system stability, especially in systems populated with many memory modules. This module is configured as a 2Rx4 (Dual Rank x4) component. 'Dual Rank' indicates that the module contains two independent sets of memory chips (ranks) that can be accessed separately, effectively doubling the number of memory accesses per module. 'x4' specifies that each memory chip is organized to handle data in 4-bit chunks. The CAS Latency (CL) is rated at CL7, meaning there are 7 clock cycles between the memory controller issuing a read command and the data being available. This latency is standard for DDR3-1066 modules and provides a balance between speed and power efficiency. Crucially, the 370-15665 incorporates Error-Correcting Code (ECC) functionality. ECC memory can detect and correct single-bit errors and detect multi-bit errors in real-time, significantly enhancing data integrity and system reliability. This is essential for servers running critical applications, databases, and virtualized environments where data accuracy and uptime are paramount. The module operates at a standard voltage of 1.5V, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of DDR3-compatible server motherboards.
