Micron MT18KSF5172PDZ-1G6K 4GB DDR3-1600MHz RDIMM 2Rx8 CL11 Memory

Product Description

This Micron memory module, identified by SKU MT18KSF5172PDZ-1G6K, is a 4GB DDR3 component designed for high-performance server and workstation applications. Operating at a faster speed of 1600MHz, it offers enhanced data transfer rates compared to lower-speed DDR3 modules, contributing to improved overall system responsiveness and application performance. The module is a Registered DIMM (RDIMM), which incorporates an onboard register chip. This register buffers command and address signals, reducing the electrical load on the memory controller and enabling the system to support larger memory capacities and maintain stability, especially in multi-processor environments. The 2Rx8 organization signifies that the module contains two ranks of memory chips, with each rank having eight memory chips organized in an x8 configuration. Dual-rank modules can sometimes offer performance advantages by allowing the memory controller to interleave access between ranks, potentially increasing bandwidth. This configuration is common in server environments where maximizing memory performance and capacity is crucial. With a CAS Latency (CL) of 11, this module provides a balance between speed and timing for DDR3 memory. The standard DDR3 voltage of 1.5V ensures broad compatibility with server platforms designed for this memory standard. While not explicitly stated in the title, RDIMMs typically include ECC (Error-Correcting Code) functionality, which is vital for detecting and correcting memory errors, thereby ensuring data integrity and system reliability in critical applications. The MT18KSF5172PDZ-1G6K is a robust choice for memory-intensive server tasks, virtualization, and data analysis.
