The MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6N is a server-class 16GB DDR3-1600 Registered DIMM with ECC, explicitly designed for platforms running memory-intensive workloads such as virtualization and in-memory databases where data integrity is paramount. Its registered signal architecture and dual-rank x4 configuration enhance signal reliability and channel utilization in multi-DIMM setups, while the 1.35V low-voltage operation reduces power draw without compromising the CL11 latency profile.
1. ECC protection seamlessly detects and corrects single-bit errors, safeguarding transactional data integrity in mission-critical database servers.
2. Registered signal buffering stabilizes high-density memory configurations, essential for scaling up virtualization hosts without compromising reliability.
3. Sixteen gigabyte capacity per module enables dense server consolidation, supporting more virtual machines per physical host for efficient data center resource utilization.
4. Low-voltage operation at one point three five volts reduces server power consumption and thermal stress, lowering cooling costs in large-scale deployments.
5. Dual Rank x4 organization keeps memory channels fully saturated, critical for consistent application performance under heavy workload consolidation.
The MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6N is a 16GB DDR3-1600 registered DIMM purpose-built for enterprise servers. In environments like virtualized clusters and in-memory databases, four key attributes directly impact your bottom line. First, ECC corrects single-bit errors on the fly, preventing silent data corruption that can crash a hypervisor or distort financial records in a Redis instance. Second, the registered design buffers command and address signals, ensuring signal integrity even when you equip 24 DIMM slots—this enables seamless scaling to hundreds of virtual machines without stability concerns. Third, the dual-rank x4 organization boosts interleaving bandwidth, lowering latency for concurrent virtual disk I/O and complex SQL join operations, so critical reports finish faster. Finally, the low 1.35V operating voltage significantly slashes power consumption and heat output, directly reducing cooling expenses in dense rack deployments. Together, these features deliver uncompromising data integrity, robust scalability, and energy efficiency for always-on enterprise workloads.
General Virtualization
For general virtualization hosts, a balanced memory configuration ensures optimal VM density and cost efficiency. Using this 16GB DDR3L Registered ECC module, populate each memory channel identically—for a dual‑socket server with four channels per CPU, install one DIMM per channel (8 modules total) for a 128GB capacity. This preserves full memory bandwidth, leverages the low 1.35V voltage for power savings, and supports dozens of standard virtual machines without bottlenecking.
In-Memory Database
In-memory databases demand maximum capacity and uncompromising data integrity. Deploy these 16GB RDIMMs across all channels, ideally with two identical DIMMs per channel in a dual‑socket platform, delivering 256GB of fault‑tolerant RAM. ECC and registered signaling provide essential reliability, while uniform dual‑rank x4 modules sustain consistent low latency under heavy transactional loads—critical for real‑time analytics.
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
HPC clusters prize high sustained memory throughput and energy efficiency. Start with one 16GB module per channel to achieve peak bandwidth with minimal rank contention, then scale to two DIMMs per channel if the platform’s dual‑rank limits permit full speed. The 1.35V DDR3L operation reduces thermal output in dense nodes, and ECC ensures calculation accuracy during long‑running parallel jobs.
Rigorously tested server memory, compatible with Dell PowerEdge R720/R620, HP DL380p Gen8, and Lenovo System x3650 M4.
Q: Can I mix this MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6N with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing different brands or speeds is not recommended for server environments. Doing so can compromise stability and ECC functionality. To ensure reliability and validated performance, populate all channels with identical modules.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my system?
A: This DDR3-1600 ECC Registered DIMM is compatible with servers that support DDR3 RDIMMs, such as Intel Xeon E5-2600 and AMD Opteron 6300 series platforms. Always consult your system's qualified vendor list for confirmation.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: Populate memory channels symmetrically, usually starting with the farthest slot from the processor within each channel. Balance capacity and rank across channels as detailed in your server board manual for optimal throughput.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No, this server-grade module does not support overclocking or XMP. It runs strictly at JEDEC-standard DDR3-1600, CL11, 1.35V. This fixed operation guarantees the stability and data integrity required for enterprise workloads.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This module includes a 1-year warranty. As an enterprise-class RDIMM built with rigorous binning and testing, it demonstrates a very low annualized failure rate (AFR), typically under 1% under normal operating conditions.
