This 8 GB DDR4-2133 RDIMM with ECC and registered signaling is engineered for server platforms, delivering the data integrity and reliability essential for virtualization workloads and in-memory database applications. Its dual-rank x8 configuration improves memory interleaving for higher throughput, while the CL15 latency and 1.2 V operation ensure efficient, stable performance in dense rack deployments.
1. ECC protection silently corrects single-bit errors, preserving data integrity for mission-critical enterprise applications and preventing costly downtime.
2. Registered signal buffering decouples the memory bus from the CPU, allowing massive DIMM counts per channel to support dense server virtualization without signal degradation.
3. Dual Rank x8 organization interleaves memory banks to boost bandwidth utilization, essential for sustaining performance in heavily virtualized environments under concurrent loads.
4. 8 GB capacity provides the optimal building block for balanced scale-up configurations, maximizing memory channels in multi-socket servers for VMs and in-memory databases.
5. 2133 MHz speed at 1.2V delivers a power-efficient baseline that reduces TCO in hyperscale data centers while maintaining stable, wide-compatibility operation across generations.
The Micron MTA18ASF1G72PDZ-2G1B is an 8GB DDR4 RDIMM engineered for servers, where seconds of downtime translate to revenue loss. Its ECC actively scrubs single-bit errors caused by cosmic rays or electrical noise, preventing silent data corruption that could crash your entire virtual machine cluster or poison an in-memory database record before you even notice. This means your hypervisor can confidently host dozens of mission-critical VMs on a single node without risking transactional integrity. The registered buffer decouples the DRAM chips from the memory controller’s electrical load, enabling you to populate every channel with high-capacity modules while maintaining rock-solid signal stability—essential for dense virtualization hosts that demand 512 GB or more of RAM. Furthermore, the dual-rank x8 organization interleaves data across internal banks, delivering higher sustained bandwidth and lower effective latency for real-time analytics platforms like SAP HANA, where a microsecond delay in query execution cascades into poor user experiences. Finally, the strict 1.2V operation keeps a rack’s thermal footprint and power budget in check, directly shrinking your cooling costs across a scaled-out deployment. Whether you orchestrate containers or run an enterprise SQL Server, this RDIMM delivers the fault resilience and predictable throughput that keep your operations sober and uninterrupted.
Server Memory Identified: This is a DDR4-2133 Registered ECC RDIMM, designed for server platforms requiring data integrity and stability.
General Virtualization
For general virtualization, balance memory across host channels to maximize VM density. Deploy six to eight identical 8GB RDIMMs (48–64GB total) in a dual-socket system, populating one DIMM per channel to maintain balanced memory bandwidth while providing sufficient headroom for moderate consolidation ratios.
In-Memory Database
In-memory databases like Redis or SAP HANA demand capacity and fault tolerance. Populate all memory channels with these 8GB RDIMMs, aiming for a minimum of 128GB (16 modules) across the server. The ECC and registered features safeguard against data corruption, and populating all channels ensures the highest aggregate throughput for real-time analytics.
High-Performance Computing (HPC)
HPC workloads benefit from maximum memory bandwidth. Configure a fully balanced population across all memory channels, using one 8GB RDIMM per channel (e.g., 8 modules per CPU). Dual-rank x8 designs here offer a slight bandwidth advantage. While per-core capacity is modest, this setup delivers the low-latency, high-bandwidth path critical for tightly coupled parallel simulations.

Q: Can I mix this MTA18ASF1G72PDZ-2G1B with other RDIMMs of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing is not recommended for server environments. Populate all channels with identical Micron RDIMMs to ensure signal integrity and avoid potential instability under registered ECC operation.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my Intel Xeon E5-2600 v4 server platform?
A: Yes, it is compatible with Intel platforms supporting DDR4-2133 Registered ECC memory. Verify your motherboard’s Qualified Vendor List (QVL) to confirm support for dual-rank x8 RDIMMs.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance on a dual-socket server?
A: Follow your server vendor’s guide. Generally, populate identical DIMMs per channel, starting with the farthest slot from the CPU. Balance capacity across memory controllers for uniform memory access.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No. As a standard JEDEC-compliant server RDIMM, this module runs at its specified 2133MHz speed. It does not support overclocking or XMP profiles; reliability and stability are prioritized.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect for this enterprise RDIMM?
A: This Micron module includes a one-year warranty. Typical enterprise RDIMMs exhibit an annualized failure rate (AFR) well below 0.5%, ensuring high reliability for 24/7 operation.
