Product Description

The HP 689375-001-RFB is an 8 Gigabyte (GB) memory module built using DDR3 SDRAM technology. DDR3 represents a significant advancement over DDR2, offering higher speeds, lower operating voltages, and improved power efficiency. This module operates at a data rate of PC3-12800, which translates to a clock speed of 1600MHz, providing ample bandwidth for modern computing tasks. It is presented in a 240-pin UDIMM (Unbuffered DIMM) form factor, commonly used in desktop computers and servers. Key specifications include its Non-ECC (Non-Error-Correcting Code) designation, meaning it lacks built-in error checking and correction capabilities, making it suitable for standard desktop systems or servers where ECC is not a requirement. It is also Unbuffered, which typically offers lower latency compared to registered DIMMs (RDIMMs). The module operates at a voltage of 1.5V, which is standard for DDR3 memory, contributing to its energy efficiency. Furthermore, it is specified as Dual Rank, which can sometimes offer performance benefits by allowing the memory controller to access different sets of memory chips in parallel. This 8GB DDR3 module is designed to enhance the performance of compatible HP systems, as well as other servers and workstations that support this memory standard. The 'RFB' in the part number often indicates it's a 'Refurbished' unit, though it meets the original specifications. Upgrading to 8GB can significantly improve system responsiveness, allowing for smoother multitasking, faster application loading, and better performance in memory-intensive applications. It's crucial to ensure system compatibility before installation, particularly regarding the motherboard's support for DDR3 memory type, speed, and capacity.
