This Micron 16GB DDR4-2133 RDIMM with ECC and a dual-rank x4 organization is purpose-built for enterprise servers and workstations, delivering the data integrity and signal stability required by virtualization and memory-intensive database applications. Its registered signaling and CL15 latency offer a balanced profile for reliable 24/7 operation in platforms where error correction and consistent performance are critical.
1. Sixteen gigabytes per module supplies the necessary density to host more virtual machines per physical server, directly boosting consolidation ratios in enterprise data centers.
2. On-die ECC corrects single-bit errors in real time, preserving data integrity for in-memory databases and financial transaction logs where silent corruption is unacceptable.
3. Registered signal buffering decouples the memory controller from the electrical load of high-density ranks, enabling fully populated multi-socket platforms to remain stable under continuous operation.
4. Dual Rank x4 organization interleaves bank accesses to sustain peak channel utilization, preventing CPU pipeline bubbles during parallel VM and container workloads.
5. A 2133 MT/s transfer rate provides rock-solid baseline throughput that enterprises rely on for predictable performance across mixed legacy and modern applications, avoiding overclocking-induced instability.
In server environments where uptime and data accuracy are non-negotiable, the Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G1B1RI RDIMM directly addresses your most critical pain points. Its ECC technology actively detects and corrects single-bit memory errors caused by background radiation, preventing silent data corruption that could crash a virtualization host running dozens of VMs or silently poison a financial transaction in an in-memory database. The registered buffer stabilizes the signal path between the CPU and the DRAM chips, allowing you to confidently populate all channels in a dense virtualization cluster without signal degradation, thus future-proofing your memory capacity investments. The dual-rank x4 organization leverages internal bank staggering to deliver higher sustained bandwidth under the heavy, random access patterns typical of database indices and analytics workloads, reducing query latency when every millisecond counts. Operating at 1.2V, this DDR4 module also keeps thermal loads in check across sprawling server racks, lowering cooling costs while maintaining the 2133MT/s throughput that balanced compute and storage performance demands.
This 16GB DDR4-2133 ECC Registered DIMM (RDIMM) is built for server platforms. Below are capacity planning recommendations for typical enterprise workloads.
General Virtualization
Populate memory channels symmetrically to maximize throughput; a dual-socket host commonly uses 12 to 16 modules (192–256 GB). Registered DIMMs maintain signal integrity when scaling to large capacities, allowing dozens of VMs to reside comfortably. Start with 8×16 GB per socket for a cost-effective baseline and adjust your RAM-to-core ratio as workload density grows.
In-Memory Database
Fill every available slot to reach maximum capacity—24 modules deliver 384 GB on a high-end server. ECC and registered signaling are critical for transactional consistency and protection against data corruption. The dual-rank organization helps offset the moderate 2133 MT/s speed, making this module a reliable choice for memory-resident datasets like Redis or SAP HANA.
High-Performance Computing
Install one balanced DIMM per memory channel (for example, six identical modules per CPU on a six-channel platform) to avoid bandwidth bottlenecks. While 2133 MHz limits peak transfer rates, the dual-rank ×4 design with CL15 latency sustains stable throughput under long-running parallel jobs. For compute clusters, prioritize mass capacity by fully populating channels, accepting a modest speed trade-off for greater job concurrency.

Q: Can I mix this MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G1B1RI with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing RDIMMs with different brands or speeds is not recommended. It may cause signal integrity issues, force lower speeds, or prevent system boot due to strict ECC and registered timing requirements.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my system? I have an Intel Xeon server platform.
A: It is compatible with Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 and newer platforms supporting DDR4-2133 registered ECC memory. Always verify your server board's qualified vendor list for this specific 16GB dual-rank RDIMM.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: Follow your server motherboard's manual for balanced memory configuration. Typically, populate identical modules per channel starting with slots farthest from the CPU, spreading dual-rank DIMMs across all memory channels.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No, this registered server memory does not support overclocking or XMP profiles. It operates only at the JEDEC standard DDR4-2133 with CL15 to ensure maximum reliability and ECC data integrity.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This module includes a 1-year warranty. The typical annualized failure rate is very low, well within industry standards for enterprise-grade ECC RDIMMs, thanks to rigorous testing and component selection.
