Product Description

The Hynix HMT351U6EFR8C-PBN0AA is a 4GB DDR3 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) module designed for standard desktop computers and workstations. This module is an Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM), which means it directly interfaces with the memory controller without an intermediate register. This configuration is common in consumer and mainstream business systems, offering a balance of performance, cost, and power efficiency. Operating at a speed of 1600MHz, this module corresponds to the PC3-12800 standard, providing a theoretical peak data transfer rate of 12,800 MB/s. This speed offers a significant performance improvement over previous DDR generations, making it suitable for multitasking, gaming, and general productivity applications. The module is specified with a CAS Latency (CL) of 11 clock cycles, which is a typical latency for DDR3 modules at this speed. It operates at a standard voltage of 1.5V, which is lower than DDR2, contributing to reduced power consumption and heat generation. This Hynix memory module is non-ECC (Error-Correcting Code), meaning it lacks the hardware-level error detection and correction capabilities found in ECC memory. While this makes it more widely compatible with standard motherboards, it also means that random memory errors are not automatically corrected, which could be a consideration for mission-critical applications. The 4GB capacity is a common size for modern computing needs, providing ample memory for most operating systems and applications. The 'Dual Ran...' in the title suggests it is a dual-rank module, which can offer performance benefits in certain memory access scenarios.
