Designed for server platforms, this 8GB DDR3-1600 Registered DIMM with ECC delivers the data integrity and signal stability essential for virtualization and in-memory database workloads. Its dual-rank x4 organization and low 1.35V operating voltage enhance memory density and energy efficiency while maintaining reliable 11-cycle CAS latency under heavy multi-DIMM configurations.
1. ECC memory detects and corrects single-bit errors on-the-fly, preventing silent data corruption during long-running enterprise database transactions and financial computations.
2. Registered signal buffering stabilizes command and address lines, allowing high-capacity server configurations to maintain rock-steady signaling across fully populated memory channels.
3. Dual Rank x4 organization enables seamless rank interleaving, maximizing memory bandwidth saturation and delivering consistent throughput under dense virtualization workloads.
4. 1600MHz frequency provides balanced per-channel bandwidth, effectively supporting concurrent query streams in mid-scale data analytics and private cloud environments.
5. 1.35V low-voltage operation trims overall server power consumption and thermal footprint, contributing to greener data center TCO while sustaining round-the-clock reliability.
The MT36KSF1G72PZ-1G6K1H is an 8GB DDR3-1600 registered DIMM engineered specifically for server environments, and its four defining characteristics directly address the real pain points of data center operators. First, ECC error correction guards against silent data corruption caused by cosmic ray-induced bit flips. In a virtualized cluster running multiple business-critical VMs, a single uncorrected memory error can bring down an entire host and trigger disruptive failover events; ECC transforms that risk into a negligible probability, preserving uptime. Second, the registered signal type uses an on-board buffer to relieve the memory controller’s electrical load, enabling you to populate all channels with high-density DIMMs without sacrificing stability. For an in-memory database like Redis or SAP HANA that caches terabytes of hot data, this means reliable access to larger working sets under constant pressure. Third, the dual-rank x4 organization leverages rank interleaving to boost effective bandwidth, accelerating OLTP transactions and real-time analytics where microseconds matter. Finally, operating at just 1.35V lowers the power draw per DIMM, a decisive advantage when a rack full of servers compounds every watt into substantial cooling and electricity savings. Together, these features deliver the data integrity, scalability, throughput, and energy efficiency your server infrastructure demands.
General Virtualization
This 8GB DDR3-1600 Registered ECC DIMM is well-suited for entry-level virtualization hosts running light to moderate VM loads. Deploy modules in balanced sets of three or six per populated memory channel to preserve triple-channel performance where supported. With ECC protection, critical hypervisor and guest data integrity is maintained, but plan to start with at least 32GB (4 modules) for a small cluster and scale in matched pairs.
In-Memory Database
For in-memory workloads like Redis or Memcached, this module provides a building block for cache clusters. Install multiples of identical DIMMs across all memory channels to maximize throughput and keep latency consistent. However, 8GB sticks limit dataset size per node—consider deploying at least 64GB (8 modules) per server and supplement with faster storage if data exceeds RAM.
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
In HPC fat nodes, populate all memory channels symmetrically with these RDIMMs to deliver high bandwidth for memory-bound simulations. A common configuration uses 8 or 16 modules (64–128GB) per node, ensuring each CPU socket sees a uniform memory map. ECC and registered signaling guarantee reliability during multi-day compute runs where silent data corruption is unacceptable.
Rigorously tested registered server memory. Compatible with Dell PowerEdge R720, HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8, IBM System x3650 M4, and more.
Q: Can I mix this MT36KSF1G72PZ-1G6K1H with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing is strongly discouraged. Mismatched modules may cause stability issues and invalidate your system's qualification. For reliable performance, use identical Micron modules with the same part number.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my system?
A: This DDR3 Registered DIMM is for servers. It requires a chipset supporting registered ECC memory, such as Intel Xeon E5-2600 v2 or AMD Opteron 6300 series. Check your server's compatibility list first.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance?
A: For dual-socket servers, populate memory channels symmetrically per CPU. Typically, begin with DIMM slots in the same color across all channels, and follow your system manual for balanced configurations.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. This is an enterprise server-class registered DIMM. It operates at JEDEC standard DDR3-1600 with no XMP or overclocking support. Stability and data integrity are prioritized.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect?
A: This Micron module includes a 1-year warranty. With a typical annualized failure rate (AFR) well under 0.5%, it delivers high reliability for 24/7 operation in enterprise environments.
