Dell 370-21956 128GB Kit (8x16GB) DDR3-1600MHz RDIMM 2Rx4 CL11 Memory

Product Description

The Dell 370-21956 is a high-capacity memory kit designed to significantly boost the performance of enterprise-grade servers and workstations. This kit includes eight 16GB modules, providing a total of 128GB of DDR3 memory operating at a speed of 1600MHz. DDR3 technology represented a significant leap in performance over its predecessor, DDR2, offering higher speeds and lower operating voltages. The Registered DIMM (RDIMM) form factor includes an onboard register that buffers command and address signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller and enabling support for larger memory capacities. Each 16GB module in this kit is configured as 2Rx4, indicating a dual-rank design with an x4 data organization. Dual-rank modules can offer performance advantages by allowing the memory controller to access different ranks independently, effectively doubling the number of available memory banks. The x4 organization specifies the data width of the DRAM chips used. The CAS latency of CL11 is a measure of the delay, in clock cycles, between the memory controller issuing a read command and the data being available from the memory module. This speed and latency combination is well-suited for demanding enterprise applications. With a total capacity of 128GB, this memory kit is ideal for memory-intensive tasks such as large-scale virtualization, complex database operations, high-performance computing, and advanced data analytics. The inclusion of ECC (Error-Correcting Code) is a critical feature for server environments, as it provides enhanced data integrity by detecting and correcting single-bit errors, which is essential for maintaining system stability and preventing data corruption. The 370-21956 kit is a powerful solution for upgrading server platforms that support DDR3 RDIMMs.
