Samsung M378T3354CZ3-CD5-1 256MB DDR2-533MHz PC2-4200 Non-ECC CL4 Memory

Product Description

The Samsung M378T3354CZ3-CD5-1 is a 256 Megabyte (MB) Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory (SDRAM) module designed for systems that utilize the DDR2 memory standard. DDR2 technology represents a significant advancement over its predecessor, DDR, by offering higher transfer rates and improved power efficiency through its double data rate architecture. This specific module operates at a clock speed of 533 Megahertz (MHz), which translates to a PC2-4200 data transfer rate, indicating its capability to move data efficiently within the system. This memory module is classified as Non-ECC (Non-Error-Correcting Code). Non-ECC memory is standard for most consumer-grade desktop computers and is generally less expensive than ECC memory. While it does not have the built-in error detection and correction capabilities of ECC modules, it is perfectly suitable for general computing tasks where data integrity is not as critical as in server environments. The CAS Latency (CL) is rated at 4, meaning there are 4 clock cycles between the memory controller requesting data from the memory module and the data becoming available. This CL4 timing is typical for DDR2-533 modules. With its 256MB capacity, the M378T3354CZ3-CD5-1 is a component intended for upgrading or populating memory in older computer systems or specific embedded applications that require DDR2 memory. Its DIMM (Dual In-line Memory Module) form factor is standard for desktop and server memory. When considering this module, it's crucial to ensure compatibility with the motherboard's chipset and BIOS, as well as the system's existing memory configuration, to achieve optimal performance and stability.
