This RDIMM is engineered for server platforms requiring high data integrity and scalability, making it ideal for virtualization, in-memory databases, and mission-critical workloads where ECC error correction and registered signal stability prevent data corruption under heavy load. Its dual-rank x4 organization and CL11 latency enhance memory bandwidth and access efficiency, ensuring consistent performance in dense multi-DIMM configurations.
1. ECC protection detects and corrects single-bit memory errors in real time, preserving data integrity for mission-critical enterprise applications and preventing silent corruption in long-running server workloads.
2. Registered signal buffering stabilizes heavy memory channel loads, enabling densely populated server boards to support large RAM capacities without compromising signal integrity under continuous operation.
3. A capacity of sixteen gigabytes per module strikes a balance between cost and density, allowing flexible scaling for virtualization hosts that need to right-size guest memory without wasting DIMM slots.
4. Dual-rank x4 organization increases bank-level parallelism, sustaining high IOPS in database caching and improving memory bandwidth utilization during multi-tenant cloud processing.
5. Operating at the low voltage of one-thirty-five hundredths of a volt reduces thermal footprint inside rack servers, trimming cooling costs and enhancing energy efficiency across large-scale data center deployments.
The Micron MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6N1LG is an RDIMM engineered specifically for server environments where absolute reliability and operational efficiency are not optional. Its ECC technology silently detects and corrects single-bit memory errors in real time, a capability that becomes a lifeline for in‑memory databases like Redis or SAP HANA. Without it, a random bit flip could silently corrupt transactional data, leading to cascading application faults or expensive unplanned downtime. The registered buffer isolates the memory controller from the electrical load of every module, letting you fully populate a virtualization cluster with dozens of DIMMs per node while maintaining crisp signal integrity. This means you can run many more virtual machines or containerized services per host without memory‑induced instability during peak consolidation. The dual‑rank x4 organization brings another critical advantage: it uses bank interleaving to sustain bandwidth when multiple VMs boot simultaneously or when a database engine scans massive tables, preventing the memory bottlenecks that would otherwise force CPUs to idle. Finally, the 1.35V low‑voltage operation directly cuts power draw and heat output in a densely packed rack. Across a fleet of hundreds of nodes, those savings compound into a significantly lower total cost of ownership, all while the module delivers its full 1600MHz speed without compromise.
General Virtualization
For general virtualization hosts, this 16 GB registered DIMM is a solid building block. Deploy in multiples of four or eight modules across identical memory channels to maximize interleaving and bandwidth for dozens of virtual machines. A balanced starting point is four modules per CPU socket, totaling 64 GB, which comfortably runs mixed workloads without over-subscription while leaving room for growth.
In-Memory Database
In-memory databases demand both capacity and reliability, making ECC registered memory essential. Populate all available DIMM slots with these 16 GB modules to reach the maximum supported capacity, such as 256 GB or 512 GB on dual-socket platforms. Pair modules in matching ranks and speeds to avoid latency penalties, ensuring fast, error-free data processing for real-time analytics.
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
HPC clusters benefit from the low voltage and registered signal integrity of this RDIMM. Configure nodes with fully populated memory channels—often 8 modules per server—to deliver high aggregate bandwidth to each processor core. For memory-bandwidth-bound simulations, balance DIMM numbers exactly across memory controllers and favor dual-rank modules to slightly boost parallelism without exceeding power budgets.
This rigorously tested DDR3 server memory is compatible with Dell PowerEdge R720, HP DL380p Gen8, and Lenovo ThinkServer RD630.
Q: Can I mix this MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6N1LG with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing RDIMMs with different brands, speeds, or ranks is not recommended. It can lead to system instability, reduced performance, or no POST. Use identical modules for guaranteed reliability.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my server? Which Intel or AMD platforms are supported?
A: This DDR3-1600 ECC Registered DIMM is compatible with servers using Intel Xeon E5/E5 v2 series or AMD Opteron 6300 series processors and corresponding chipsets. Verify your board supports 1.35V RDIMMs.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance in my server?
A: Follow your specific server motherboard manual for population order. Typically, you should populate identical DIMMs per channel, starting from the slots farthest from the CPU, to enable balanced memory interleaving.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. As a server-grade ECC Registered DIMM, this module is designed for absolute data integrity and stability at JEDEC standard DDR3-1600 CL11. It does not support XMP or overclocking.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This module is backed by a 1-year warranty. Server memory typically exhibits a very low annualized failure rate (under 0.5%) due to rigorous testing and ECC technology, ensuring long-term reliability.
