Micron MT9KBF51272AKZ-1G4E1ZE 4GB DDR3-1333MHz VLP Mini-UDIMM Memory

Product Description

This Micron memory module, identified by SKU MT9KBF51272AKZ-1G4E1ZE, is specifically designed for environments where space is at a premium. The 'VLP' designation stands for Very Low Profile, meaning the module's height is significantly reduced compared to standard DIMMs, making it suitable for dense server chassis, blade servers, and network appliances that have limited vertical clearance. The 'Mini-UDIMM' form factor further emphasizes its compact nature, often used in specialized server configurations. With a capacity of 4GB and operating at a speed of 1333MHz, this DDR3 module provides a respectable performance level for its intended applications. The 2Rx8 organization indicates that the memory is configured with two ranks, each composed of eight data bits, which is a standard configuration for UDIMMs. The CAS Latency of CL9 signifies the number of clock cycles required for the memory to respond to a column address command, influencing the overall data access time. As an Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM), it does not have a register chip, meaning signals are passed directly from the memory controller to the DRAM chips, which can be more power-efficient but limits the number of DIMMs per channel compared to RDIMMs. This module is an excellent choice for upgrading or populating systems that require compact memory solutions without compromising too heavily on performance. Its VLP Mini-UDIMM design ensures compatibility with motherboards and chassis that cannot accommodate standard-height DIMMs, making it a critical component for maintaining operational capacity in space-constrained networking and server infrastructure. The DDR3 technology ensures broad compatibility with many server generations.
