Samsung M378B1G73DB0-YK0 8GB DDR3-1600MHz UDIMM 2Rx8 CL11 Memory

Product Description

The Samsung M378B1G73DB0-YK0 is an 8 Gigabyte DDR3 Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) module designed for use in desktop computers, workstations, and other systems that support DDR3 UDIMM memory. This module operates at a clock speed of 1600MHz, commonly referred to as PC3-12800, which translates to a theoretical peak transfer rate of 12,800 Megabytes per second. The CAS Latency (CL) of 11 indicates the number of clock cycles required for the memory to respond to a request, contributing to its overall performance characteristics. This specific module is configured as a 2Rx8 device, meaning it is dual-ranked with eight memory banks per rank. Dual-rank modules can sometimes offer performance benefits by allowing the memory controller to access different ranks independently, potentially improving efficiency. As an Unbuffered DIMM (UDIMM), it does not feature onboard registers or buffers, making it suitable for standard consumer and business-grade motherboards rather than high-end servers that typically require Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) or Load-Reduced DIMMs (LRDIMMs). With a standard operating voltage of 1.5V, this DDR3 module is backward compatible with systems supporting lower DDR3 speeds and voltages (like 1.35V, though it will run at 1.5V). It is a non-ECC (Error Correction Code) module, meaning it does not have the capability to detect and correct data corruption, which is standard for most desktop applications. This memory upgrade is ideal for enhancing system responsiveness, improving multitasking capabilities, and boosting performance in memory-intensive applications.
