IBM 00VK352 128GB DDR4-1600MHz CDIMM 4Rx4 CL11 Memory

Product Description

The IBM 00VK352 is a high-capacity 128GB memory module specifically designed for deployment in IBM's enterprise-grade server systems. This module utilizes DDR4 SDRAM technology, offering improved performance and power efficiency over previous generations. The 'CDIMM' designation typically refers to a Load-Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM), which incorporates a memory buffer chip. This buffer helps to reduce the electrical load on the memory controller, allowing for higher memory capacities per channel and improved signal integrity, which is crucial for dense memory configurations found in servers. Operating at a frequency of 1600MHz (often referred to as PC4-25600 when considering the full bandwidth), this module provides solid performance for a wide range of server applications. It features a CAS Latency (CL) of 11, indicating the number of clock cycles required to access data. The 4Rx4 rank configuration signifies that the module is composed of four ranks, with each rank having a data width of 4 bits. This quad-rank design contributes to the high capacity and can offer performance benefits in certain server workloads by allowing the memory controller to access different ranks concurrently. This 128GB DDR4 CDIMM is engineered for reliability and scalability, making it suitable for mission-critical enterprise workloads such as virtualization, large databases, high-performance computing, and cloud infrastructure. Its high capacity and LRDIMM architecture enable servers to support significantly larger amounts of total system memory, which is essential for handling vast datasets and complex computations efficiently. As a genuine IBM part, it ensures compatibility and optimal performance within IBM server environments.
