This 16GB DDR3-1333 RDIMM is a server-grade memory module engineered for virtualization platforms and in-memory databases, where its ECC and registered signal architecture ensure end-to-end data integrity and signal stability in multi-DIMM configurations. The dual-rank x4 organization paired with a CAS latency of 9 delivers balanced throughput and capacity scaling, while the 1.35V low-voltage operation reduces thermal overhead in dense rack deployments.
1. ECC protection actively detects and corrects single-bit memory errors, safeguarding transactional data integrity in financial and database server workloads.
2. Registered signal buffering stabilizes high-density memory configurations, enabling seamless scaling to hundreds of gigabytes for large-scale virtualization clusters.
3. Dual Rank x4 organization interleaves data across internal banks, boosting sustained memory throughput under heavy multi-tenant query loads.
4. 16 GB capacity per module provides ample headroom for virtual machine consolidation, allowing more guests per physical host without costly swap overhead.
5. 1333 MHz speed delivers balanced bandwidth ideal for legacy enterprise applications, ensuring stable performance without overprovisioning power or cooling budgets.
The MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G4E is a 16 GB DDR3-1333 Registered DIMM with ECC, and its specifications directly target the unforgiving demands of enterprise servers and data centers. In a dense virtualization cluster, each physical host may run dozens of virtual machines. A single undetected bit flip caused by background radiation can silently corrupt a guest’s kernel memory, leading to cascading failures or data loss across tenants. This module’s ECC engine detects and corrects single-bit errors in real time, preserving workload integrity without performance impact, while the registered signal buffer stabilizes the command bus so you can populate all memory channels with confidence, even at scale. When deployed in an in-memory database like Redis or SAP HANA, where entire datasets live in DRAM for microsecond response, the dual-rank x4 organization increases bank-level parallelism, sustaining higher effective bandwidth under the random access patterns that analytics engines generate. The 1.35 V low-voltage operation further lowers the thermal footprint of fully loaded rack servers, reducing cooling costs and extending platform life without sacrificing the CL9 latency your latency-sensitive financial or transaction applications require.
General Virtualization
For a typical hypervisor hosting mixed VMs, populate at least six identical 16 GB RDIMMs across triple-channel memory controllers to achieve 96 GB total. This satisfies moderate consolidation ratios while leveraging Registered ECC for data integrity under multi-tenant workloads. Always provision 20–30% spare capacity for failover memory reservation and peak ballooning.
In-Memory Database
When running in-memory databases such as Redis or SAP HANA, maximize capacity density by fully populating all DIMM slots with these 16 GB modules—often reaching 256 GB or more on dual-socket platforms. The dual-rank x4 organization and low CAS latency improve transactional throughput, while ECC and registered buffering ensure reliability during sustained large dataset operations. Plan for headroom equal to 1.5x your expected dataset size to accommodate replication and snapshots.
High-Performance Computing
For HPC memory-bandwidth-sensitive simulations, install one DIMM per channel to enable full memory interleaving and uniform access. In a dual-socket configuration with eight memory channels per CPU, sixteen identical 16 GB Registered modules deliver 256 GB of balanced capacity at 1333 MHz. The 1.35 V low-voltage design reduces thermal load in dense clusters, and ECC guards against silent data corruption during long-running parallel jobs.
Rigorously tested RDIMM, compatible with Dell PowerEdge R720, R620, HP DL380p Gen8, IBM x3650 M4.
Q: Can I mix this MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G4E with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing RDIMMs of different brands or speeds is not advised. Variations in rank, timing, or voltage can lead to instability. Always use identical part numbers for guaranteed compatibility.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my Intel or AMD server platform?
A: This 16GB DDR3-1333 Registered ECC module fits servers using Intel Xeon E5-2600 v1/v2 or AMD Opteron 6300 series. Confirm your motherboard supports 1.35V RDIMMs and check its QVL.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: Follow your server board’s memory population guide. Typically, install modules in the farthest slot per channel first, then fill sequentially. Populate all channels evenly for balanced performance.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. This is a mission-critical server RDIMM operating at JEDEC-standard DDR3-1333 with CL9. It does not support overclocking or XMP and runs at fixed timings for maximum stability.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This memory includes a 1-year warranty. The failure rate is extremely low under normal server environments due to rigorous component screening and Micron’s high-quality manufacturing standards.
