Hynix HMT42GR7AFR4C-PB 16GB DDR3-1600MHz RDIMM 2Rx4 CL11 Memory

Product Description

The Hynix HMT42GR7AFR4C-PB is a 16 Gigabyte (GB) DDR3 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) module. This module is designed for server and workstation applications where high performance and data integrity are paramount. As a Registered DIMM (RDIMM), it incorporates a register chip that buffers command and address signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller. This feature allows for greater memory capacity configurations and enhances overall system stability, making it ideal for demanding computing environments. Operating at a higher frequency of 1600MHz (also designated as PC3-12800), this memory module offers increased bandwidth compared to lower-speed DDR3 modules. This translates to faster data transfer rates, which can significantly benefit applications that are memory-intensive or require rapid data processing. The module has a CAS Latency (CL) of 11, which is the number of clock cycles required to access data after a command is issued. The 2Rx4 configuration signifies a dual-rank module, where each rank uses four data chips (x4 data width), potentially improving performance through parallel access. Furthermore, the HMT42GR7AFR4C-PB includes Error-Correcting Code (ECC) capabilities. ECC memory can detect and correct common memory errors in real-time, preventing data corruption and system crashes. This is a critical feature for servers and other mission-critical systems where uptime and data accuracy are essential. The combination of 16GB capacity, 1600MHz speed, ECC support, and RDIMM architecture makes this Hynix module a robust choice for server memory upgrades.
