Hynix HMT41GE7AFR8A-PBT0 8GB DDR3-1600MHz VLP UDIMM 2Rx8 CL11 Memory

Product Description

This 8GB DDR3 Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM) from Hynix, model HMT41GE7AFR8A-PBT0, is a memory module designed for standard server and workstation applications. It operates at a frequency of 1600MHz, commonly referred to as PC3-12800, offering a good balance of speed and compatibility for DDR3 systems. The 2Rx8 configuration signifies that the module is dual-ranked with an x8 data width, which can enhance performance by allowing the memory controller to access different banks of memory chips more efficiently. The module features a CAS Latency (CL) of 11, indicating the number of clock cycles required for the memory to respond to a command. This latency, combined with the 1600MHz speed, provides a respectable performance level for everyday computing tasks and moderate workloads. Unlike RDIMMs, UDIMMs do not have a registered buffer chip, making them suitable for systems that do not require the advanced error correction or higher density capabilities offered by registered memory. Furthermore, this HMT41GE7AFR8A-PBT0 is a Very Low Profile (VLP) module, which is designed to occupy less vertical space within a server chassis. This is particularly beneficial in dense server environments or systems with limited internal clearance, allowing for improved airflow and easier installation. It is a non-ECC module, meaning it does not have built-in error correction capabilities, making it suitable for applications where data integrity is less critical or handled by the operating system or application layer.
