This 16GB DDR3-1600 RDIMM, operating at a low 1.35V and utilizing registered signaling with ECC, is engineered for entry-level servers and virtualization platforms where data integrity and power efficiency are paramount. Its dual-rank x4 configuration optimizes memory bandwidth utilization in multi-DIMM channels, making it a reliable choice for memory-intensive workloads such as light database hosting and consolidated virtual machines.
1. ECC protection actively detects and corrects single-bit errors in real time, preserving data integrity for mission-critical databases and financial transactions where even silent corruption is unacceptable.
2. Registered signal buffering stabilizes high-capacity memory configurations, allowing the server to support larger RAM footprints without compromising signal integrity across multiple DIMMs per channel.
3. 16 GB capacity per module enables denser virtualization footprints, letting IT consolidate more virtual machines per physical host and maximize software licensing efficiency.
4. Dual rank x4 organization leverages rank interleaving to keep memory channels continuously fed with data, sustaining high throughput for multi-core processors handling concurrent enterprise workloads.
5. Low 1.35V operation significantly cuts per-DIMM power consumption and cooling demands compared to legacy 1.5V DDR3, directly reducing energy costs in large-scale data center deployments.
When your enterprise workloads never sleep, the memory powering them must be uncompromising. The Micron MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6E1 is a 16GB DDR3-1600 Registered DIMM built specifically for server environments, and its four defining characteristics directly address the real-world pain points of data center operators. First, ECC error correction continuously detects and corrects single-bit memory errors caused by background radiation, preventing silent data corruption—an absolute necessity when a flipped bit in a financial database or virtualized customer record could mean revenue loss or compliance failure. Second, the registered signal architecture buffers command and address lines, allowing you to populate all memory channels across multiple DIMMs without degrading signal integrity; this means a fully-loaded virtualization cluster can host dozens more virtual machines without instability. Third, the dual-rank x4 design leverages rank interleaving to stream data in parallel, slashing latency for in-memory databases like Redis or SAP HANA, where every microsecond of response time impacts user experience. Finally, the 1.35V operating voltage significantly reduces power draw and thermal output compared to standard 1.5V DDR3. In a dense rack full of servers, that translates into lower cooling costs and higher rack-level density, letting you do more with your existing power envelope. This module isn’t just a specification sheet—it’s a strategy for reliability, scalability, and efficiency in mission-critical infrastructure.
This 16GB DDR3-1600 Registered ECC RDIMM (1.35V, dual-rank x4) is built for servers. Capacity planning guidance follows.
General Virtualization
Populate all memory channels symmetrically. For a dual-socket server with four channels per CPU, install eight 16GB modules (one per channel) for 128GB, or sixteen (two per channel) for 256GB. This balanced layout ensures reliable performance for numerous VMs.
In-Memory Database
Maximize capacity by filling every slot. On a platform supporting three DIMMs per channel, use twenty-four 16GB RDIMMs to reach 384GB. Low-voltage operation helps manage thermals in dense configurations, and identical dual-rank x4 modules deliver consistent latency under heavy loads.
High Performance Computing
Achieve peak bandwidth with one DIMM per channel to avoid speed throttling. A typical dual-socket node with eight modules provides 128GB at full 1600MT/s, ideal for memory-bound simulations. The 1.35V efficiency reduces power draw in large clusters.
Rigorously tested, compatible with Dell PowerEdge R720/R520, HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8, and more.
Q: Can I mix this MT36KSF2G72PZ-1G6E1 with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing is not recommended for registered ECC server memory. Mismatched brands, speeds, or timings often cause instability. For validated reliability, always populate identical modules from the same kit.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my Intel or AMD server platform?
A: This DDR3-1600 RDIMM is designed for servers using Intel Xeon E5/E7 v2 or AMD Opteron 6300/8300 series CPUs. Verify that your motherboard supports 1.35 V registered ECC DIMMs and check its qualified vendor list.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: Follow your server board's manual. Typically, populate identical DIMMs per channel, starting with the slots furthest from the CPU. Fill blue slots first, then black, balancing across memory controllers to maximize bandwidth.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. As a JEDEC-compliant registered ECC module, it runs at fixed 1600 MHz with CL11 timings. Overclocking and XMP are not supported; stable, error-free operation is the design priority.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This module includes a one-year warranty. Enterprise-grade registered DIMMs typically achieve an annualized failure rate (AFR) well below 0.5% under proper cooling and at specified voltage.
