Micron MT18KSF1G72PZ-1G6E1HG 8GB DDR3-1600MHz RDIMM 1Rx4 CL11 Memory

Product Description

The Micron MT18KSF1G72PZ-1G6E1HG is a high-performance 8GB Registered Dual In-line Memory Module (RDIMM) engineered for server and workstation applications. It leverages DDR3 SDRAM technology, running at a frequency of 1600MHz, identified as PC3-12800. This higher clock speed compared to 1333MHz modules provides increased memory bandwidth, which is critical for systems handling large datasets, complex computations, or running multiple virtual machines. This module is configured with a CAS Latency (CL) of 11. While the latency is higher than the CL9 module, the increased clock speed of 1600MHz generally results in better overall performance due to the higher data transfer rate. The 1Rx4 configuration indicates a single-rank module where each DRAM chip has a x4 (4-bit) data width. Single-rank modules are often used to populate memory channels efficiently, especially when higher capacities per DIMM are not required or when specific motherboard configurations benefit from them. As a standard RDIMM, the MT18KSF1G72PZ-1G6E1HG includes an onboard register. This register buffers command and address signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller. This feature is essential for enabling higher memory densities and ensuring system stability in servers that require a significant amount of RAM. Furthermore, RDIMMs typically incorporate ECC (Error-Correcting Code) capabilities, which are vital for detecting and correcting memory errors on the fly, thereby enhancing system reliability and data integrity. The module operates at the standard DDR3 voltage of 1.5V.
