This DDR3-1600 registered ECC memory module is purpose‑built for server platforms, delivering the data integrity and reliability essential for virtualization and in‑memory databases. Its dual‑rank x4 organization, combined with registered signaling and a low 1.35 V operating voltage, enhances memory bus stability and energy efficiency while CL11 latency keeps response times tight under heavy loads.
1. Ample capacity per module allows dense server configurations to host more virtual machines without sacrificing memory headroom.
2. Integrated error correction safeguards against data corruption, essential for transactional databases and long-running analytics workloads.
3. Registered signal buffering stabilizes memory access across many DIMMs, ensuring reliable operation in multi-socket server platforms.
4. Dual rank architecture maximizes memory bus utilization, delivering higher sustained bandwidth for parallel workloads like real-time processing.
5. Low-voltage operation reduces data center energy consumption and cooling demands, directly lowering total cost of ownership.
The Micron MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6E1HF is a 16GB DDR3-1600 RDIMM purpose-built for server workloads, where its ECC, registered buffering, 1.35V low-voltage operation, and dual-rank x4 organization translate directly into reliability and performance. In a VMware or Hyper-V cluster, ECC silently corrects single-bit errors caused by background radiation, averting VM crashes or data corruption that would ripple across tenants. The registered interface cleans and re-drives command signals, letting you fully populate memory channels to reach 384GB and beyond without signal degradation—critical for dense virtualization hosts. For in-memory databases like Redis or SAP HANA, the dual-rank design enables rank interleaving, overlapping accesses to boost sustained bandwidth and shrink latency; your real-time analytics and transactional queries process faster. Meanwhile, the 1.35V supply cuts power consumption by roughly 20 percent versus standard 1.5V modules, directly reducing cooling requirements in crowded racks and extending the life of onboard voltage regulators. This RDIMM keeps your data accurate, your capacity scalable, and your operations lean.
General Virtualization
For a dual-socket virtualization host, populate all memory channels with eight identical 16 GB DDR3L RDIMMs (128 GB total). This balanced, one-DIMM-per-channel layout ensures maximum available bandwidth for numerous virtual machines. Scale to 16 modules (256 GB) when VM density or memory overcommitment demands more headroom.
In-Memory Database
In-memory databases demand extreme capacity and data integrity. Fill every available DIMM slot with these 16 GB registered ECC modules—typical configurations use 16 or 24 modules (256–384 GB)—to keep entire datasets in RAM. The ECC and 1.35 V low-voltage operation deliver mission-critical reliability and power efficiency.
High-Performance Computing
Equip each HPC node with eight 16 GB RDIMMs, placing one per channel for a symmetric 128 GB footprint. This approach maximizes memory bandwidth in dual-socket systems and avoids performance penalties associated with dual-rank x4 loading at full speed. If larger capacity is essential, add a second DIMM per channel, but validate that the platform sustains 1600 MHz at 1.35 V under the increased rank load.
Tested RDIMM for servers: Compatible with Dell PowerEdge R720/R620, HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8, and similar ECC platforms.
Q: Can I mix this MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6E1HF with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing is strongly discouraged in server environments. Different brands or speeds may cause instability and disable ECC protection. All modules should be identical to guarantee validated performance and data integrity on your server platform.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my server, specifically on Intel Xeon E5 or AMD Opteron 6200 platforms?
A: This 16GB DDR3-1600 registered ECC module (1.35V, dual rank x4) is compatible with select Intel Xeon E5-2600 v1/v2 and AMD Opteron 6300 series platforms. Please verify your server’s qualified vendor list to confirm support.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance on a dual-processor server?
A: Populate identical DIMMs in a balanced configuration across memory channels, starting with the farthest slot per channel. Refer to your system manual for precise population rules to maximize throughput and maintain NUMA balance.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. As a server-class registered DIMM, this module adheres strictly to JEDEC DDR3-1600/PC3-12800 standards (CL11, 1.35V). It does not support overclocking or XMP profiles, prioritizing stability and data integrity.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect for this Micron module?
A: This module is backed by a one-year warranty. It features a very low annualized failure rate (AFR) typical of enterprise-grade RDIMMs, ensuring reliable 24/7 operation under rated specifications.
