This 16GB DDR3L-1600 Registered ECC RDIMM is tailored for legacy server platforms handling memory-critical workloads such as virtualization and in-memory databases, where absolute data integrity is essential. Its dual-rank x4 configuration combined with registered signal buffering delivers robust signal integrity under high-density populations, while the low 1.35V voltage and ECC error correction maximize power efficiency and prevent silent data corruption.
1. ECC protection detects and corrects single-bit memory errors in real time, preserving data integrity for mission-critical databases and financial transactions even during long uptime cycles.
2. Registered buffering offloads the electrical load from the memory controller, enabling a server to populate all channels without risking signal degradation and unexpected system crashes.
3. Generous per-module capacity allows higher VM density per node, directly reducing licensing costs and physical server footprint in a virtualized data center.
4. Dual Rank x4 organization leverages bank-level parallelism to sustain throughput under heavy mixed read-write workloads, minimizing bottlenecks for storage and compute nodes alike.
5. The low-voltage specification cuts overall rack power draw and cooling overhead, yielding meaningful OpEx savings in deployments that scale to hundreds of servers.
When your data center powers a dense virtualization cluster or an in-memory database like SAP HANA, every memory transaction carries business risk. The Micron MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6P1KG 16GB DDR3 RDIMM is engineered precisely for these workloads, and its four defining characteristics translate directly into operational resilience. Registered signal buffering stabilizes large memory populations across multiple DIMMs per channel, so your hypervisor hosts do not suffer signal degradation or unexpected reboots when you pack servers with 384 GB or more for heavy consolidation. ECC protection runs silently in the background, correcting single-bit flips caused by cosmic particles before they corrupt financial records or customer data, which is critical for databases that cache entire datasets in RAM. The dual-rank x4 organization interleaves accesses across two sets of DRAM banks, boosting sustained bandwidth under the random, small-block reads that characterize online transaction processing. Meanwhile, 1.35V low-voltage operation substantially reduces power draw and cooling costs across a fleet of hundreds of servers, directly freeing budget and improving your Power Usage Effectiveness rating without sacrificing the 1600 MT/s throughput. In short, this module keeps your virtual machines consistent, your database queries fast, and your power bill predictable.
General Virtualization
For consolidated virtualization hosts, populate at least six to eight identical 16 GB RDIMMs across all memory channels to balance capacity and memory bandwidth. Aim for 96–128 GB per host to comfortably support 20–30 mixed-duty VMs without ballooning. Registered ECC ensures data integrity under sustained multi-tenant workloads.
In-Memory Database
Maximize module count—typically 12 to 24 DIMMs per server—to reach 192–384 GB, keeping entire datasets resident in RAM. Low-voltage 1.35V RDIMMs reduce power draw and thermal stress when all slots are filled. Dual-rank x4 organization provides a favourable balance of rank interleaving and latency for high transactional throughput.
High-Performance Computing
Populate one DIMM per channel uniformly to preserve full memory bandwidth, as HPC codes are often bandwidth-sensitive. A per-node capacity of 64–128 GB using four or eight 16 GB Registered ECC modules is typical for simulation and modelling workflows. The 1600MT/s speed, combined with registered buffering, maintains signal integrity across dense multi-socket nodes under heavy floating-point load.
Rigorously tested, compatible with Dell PowerEdge R720, HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8, and similar servers.
Q: Can I mix this MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6P1KG with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: We do not recommend mixing different brands or speeds in server environments. Mismatched modules can cause signal integrity issues, ECC errors, and system instability. For reliable operation, populate exclusively with identical registered DDR3L DIMMs.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my server? Which Intel or AMD platforms are supported?
A: This DDR3L-1600 ECC Registered DIMM is designed for Intel Xeon E5/E5 v2 and select AMD Opteron 6300/4300 series platforms with DDR3 support. Verify your board supports 240-pin RDIMMs, 1.35V operation, and dual-rank x4 organization.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: Follow your server board’s memory population guide. Typically, populate identical DIMMs per channel starting with the farthest slot from the CPU. For dual-rank x4 modules, balancing channels and matching ranks maximizes memory bandwidth and interleaving.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. This is a JEDEC-compliant server RDIMM without XMP or overclocking support. It operates strictly at DDR3-1600 with standard CL11 timings to ensure data integrity and 24/7 reliability in enterprise environments.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This module is covered by a one-year warranty. Server-grade DDR3 ECC RDIMMs exhibit an extremely low annualized failure rate (AFR) under 0.5% when operated within specified conditions, ensuring stable long-term deployment.
