Samsung M386B4G70DM0-YK03Q 32GB DDR3-1600MHz LRDIMM 4Rx4 CL11 Memory

Product Description

The Samsung M386B4G70DM0-YK03Q is a 32GB DDR3 Load-Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) memory module, specifically designed for server environments that require maximum memory capacity and performance. LRDIMMs are distinguished by their use of a buffer chip that sits between the memory controller and the DRAM devices. This buffer significantly reduces the electrical load on the memory controller, enabling systems to support a much larger number of DIMMs and achieve higher total memory capacities compared to RDIMMs. This particular module operates at a clock speed of 1600MHz, identified as PC3-12800, and has a CAS Latency (CL) of 11. While the latency might be slightly higher than comparable RDIMMs due to the buffering, the primary advantage of LRDIMMs lies in their ability to scale memory capacity dramatically, which is often a critical requirement for virtualization, large databases, and high-performance computing. Featuring a 4Rx4 rank configuration (four ranks, each with four data bits), this module contributes to its substantial 32GB capacity. It also includes ECC (Error-Correcting Code) functionality, a vital feature for server-grade memory that detects and corrects data errors, ensuring the integrity and reliability of operations. The module operates at the standard DDR3 voltage of 1.5V and is intended for use in compatible DDR3 server platforms.
