This unbuffered ECC DDR4-2400 UDIMM with a dual-rank x8 organization and CL17 latency is purpose-built for entry-level servers and workstations, delivering strong data integrity and memory bandwidth for virtualization platforms and memory-intensive applications. Its 1.2V low-voltage operation reduces power consumption while ECC error correction and dual-rank interleaving ensure stable, high-throughput performance on platforms such as Intel Xeon E-2300 series or AMD AM4 with ECC support.
1. Generous module capacity lets small business servers host more virtual machines and containers concurrently, delaying costly hardware expansion and keeping consolidation ratios high.
2. ECC single-bit error correction protects transactional databases and long-running compute jobs from silent data corruption, directly hardening system uptime and data fidelity.
3. Unbuffered signal topology trims access latency on entry-level server boards, giving cost-conscious deployments a responsive memory sub-system without sacrificing error protection.
4. The data rate supplies smooth bandwidth for moderate multi-user SaaS workloads and file services, ensuring consistent response under peak-hours without overheating the power budget.
5. Dual Rank x8 organization sustains rank-level interleaving, preserving memory throughput when multiple cores hammer the channels in dense virtualization setups.
The Micron MTA18ADF2G72AZ-2G3A1 is a 16GB DDR4 UDIMM with ECC, engineered specifically for workstations and entry-level servers where uncompromising data integrity and responsive performance are non-negotiable. Its four critical characteristics directly resolve real operational pain points. The integrated Error Correcting Code (ECC) actively detects and corrects single-bit memory errors caused by background radiation or voltage fluctuations; in a virtualization cluster, this prevents silent data corruption from silently crashing multiple guest operating systems or contaminating financial transactions—turning a potentially catastrophic failure into a non-event. The unbuffered architecture strips away the register chip delay, delivering the lower absolute latency that in-memory databases like Redis or SAP HANA demand, where every nanosecond saved in command response amplifies transaction throughput under peak loads. A dual-rank, x8 organization interleaves internal memory banks to significantly elevate bandwidth, so when dozens of VMs thrash the memory bus simultaneously, you experience fluid, consistent performance instead of lag spikes. Finally, operating at just 1.2V instead of legacy 1.5V, the module curbs power draw and waste heat across dense server racks, slashing cooling overhead and energy costs over a 24/7 lifecycle without sacrificing the stable 2400MHz speed.
General Virtualization
For consolidating multiple VMs on a single host, install matched sets of these 16GB ECC UDIMMs—start with four modules (64GB) on a dual-channel platform to balance cost and density. The error-correcting code guards against in-memory data corruption, maintaining VM stability under sustained utilization. Scale to eight modules (128GB) as hypervisor overhead and guest footprints grow.
In-Memory Database
When deploying memory-hungry databases like Redis, Memcached, or SAP HANA, maximize capacity by populating every available slot with MTA18ADF2G72AZ modules. The dual-rank x8 organization provides robust signal integrity, while ECC protection is mandatory for transactional consistency. Aim for 128GB or more across four or eight sockets to keep entire datasets in RAM and avoid storage bottlenecks.
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
Achieve peak memory bandwidth with a symmetric multi-channel layout: install one unbuffered ECC DIMM per channel (1DPC) to leverage the 2400MHz clock and CL17 latency. The dual-rank configuration offers a bandwidth advantage for simulation and modeling codes that stream large arrays. Always deploy identical modules in groups equal to the number of memory channels—typically four or eight—to sustain error-free, long-duration compute runs.
Rigorously tested for compatibility with servers including Dell PowerEdge T340, HPE ProLiant ML30 Gen10, and Lenovo ThinkSystem ST50.
Q: Can I mix this MTA18ADF2G72AZ-2G3A1 with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing modules is not recommended for mission‑critical systems. This ECC UDIMM will clock down to match the slowest DIMM and may disable ECC if mixed with non‑ECC memory, risking data integrity.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my system?
A: It is designed for workstations and single‑socket servers using Intel Xeon E3/E-2200 series or AMD Ryzen PRO platforms with C236/C246 chipsets. Verify your board supports DDR4‑2400 ECC Unbuffered DIMMs.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: Populate identical DIMMs in matched channels first. For a dual‑rank x8 UDIMM, fill the far slots (DDR4_2, DDR4_4) before the near slots. Consult your motherboard manual for exact slot numbering.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. As a JEDEC‑compliant DDR4‑2400 ECC UDIMM, it does not support XMP or overclocking. The rated CAS 17 timing and 1.2 V are fixed to ensure data integrity in server and workstation environments.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This Micron module includes a one‑year warranty. In typical server operating conditions, ECC UDIMMs exhibit an annualized failure rate (AFR) below 0.5%, ensuring reliable long‑term operation when properly cooled.
