The 16GB DDR3-1333 RDIMM operating at 1.35V with ECC and registered signaling is built for server platforms where data integrity and stability are paramount, making it ideal for virtualized environments and in-memory databases. Its dual-rank x4 organization enhances memory interleaving for improved bandwidth efficiency, while CL9 latency maintains responsive performance under sustained enterprise workloads.
1. Integrated ECC technology detects and corrects memory faults on-the-fly, safeguarding data integrity for 24/7 mission-critical server operations.
2. Register logic buffers address and command signals, stabilizing multi-DIMM channels and enabling maximum server memory scalability without signal degradation.
3. Ample module capacity empowers dense virtualization clusters, hosting more tenants per rack while maintaining responsive application performance.
4. Dual Rank x4 architecture keeps data buses fully occupied through interleaving, boosting effective bandwidth for real-time analytics and large dataset processing.
5. Ultra-low voltage operation reduces energy draw and waste heat, improving data center PUE and allowing tighter server packing.
This Micron 16GB DDR3L-1333 RDIMM (MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G4D1FF) is purpose-built for enterprise servers where stability, data integrity, and efficiency are non-negotiable. In a virtualization cluster hosting hundreds of VMs, the onboard ECC silently corrects single-bit errors induced by cosmic radiation, preventing silent data corruption that could cascade into application crashes and unplanned downtime. The registered buffer isolates electrical loading, allowing you to populate all memory channels for large in-memory databases like SAP HANA without signal degradation, enabling real-time analytics on massive datasets. Its dual-rank x4 organization interleaves memory banks, increasing sustained bandwidth so that transaction processing engines fetch data faster under heavy concurrent loads. Finally, operating at just 1.35V rather than the standard 1.5V, this module cuts power consumption and cooling costs in dense rack deployments, delivering both OpEx savings and environmental responsibility. This is a strategic investment in reliable, energy-efficient data center performance.
The 16GB DDR3-1333 ECC Registered DIMM (1.35V, dual-rank) is server memory. Use the following capacity planning guidance for typical enterprise workloads.
General Virtualization
Populate one identical DIMM per memory channel to ensure balanced bandwidth for multiple VMs. A dual-socket server with four channels per CPU requires eight of these 16GB modules (128 GB total), which satisfies moderate consolidation. Scale to two DIMMs per channel (256 GB) when you need extra headroom without disrupting symmetric population.
In-Memory Database
Capacity is paramount for holding entire datasets in RAM. Fill all available slots with these 16GB RDIMMs; the registered buffer supports up to three DIMMs per channel while maintaining signal integrity. A fully loaded 24-slot server delivers 384 GB, enabling rapid in-memory analytics for platforms like Redis or SAP HANA. Always install identical ranks across channels.
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
Achieve peak memory bandwidth by installing one dual-rank DIMM per channel uniformly across all CPUs. A balanced quad-channel setup gives 64 GB per socket, avoiding NUMA imbalances. Never mix capacities, as this degrades parallel I/O performance. The low 1.35V operating voltage also reduces overall power draw in dense clusters, benefiting sustained compute runs.
Rigorously tested server memory: compatible with Dell PowerEdge R720, HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8, Lenovo System x3650 M4, and more.
Q: Can I mix this MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G4D1FF with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing different brands or speeds is not recommended for server environments. Variations in timings, voltage, or rank can cause signal integrity issues, ECC errors, and system instability. Always install identical modules to ensure guaranteed compatibility and 24/7 reliability.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my system?
A: This DDR3-1333 Registered ECC RDIMM (1.35V, 240-pin) is designed for server platforms supporting dual-rank x4 modules, such as Intel Xeon E5-2600 v1/v2 or AMD Opteron 6300 series. Please consult your server or motherboard Qualified Vendor List (QVL) to confirm compatibility.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: For optimal bandwidth, populate identical DIMMs in symmetrical slots per your server manual. Typically, start with the farthest channel per memory controller (e.g., slots A1, B1 for dual-channel, then C1, D1 for quad-channel) to balance loads and maximize interleaving.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No, this is a JEDEC-compliant server memory module. It runs strictly at its rated speed of 1333MHz (CL9) with no overclocking or XMP support. Mission-critical server deployments prioritize deterministic stability and ECC data integrity over performance tuning.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This module comes with a 1-year warranty. Enterprise-grade RDIMMs like this exhibit an extremely low annualized failure rate (typically below 0.1%). Integrated ECC further protects against single-bit errors, ensuring sustained long-term reliability in data center conditions.
