This 8GB DDR3-1600 RDIMM, with its registered signal type and ECC, ensures robust data integrity for virtualization and in-memory database workloads on legacy server platforms. Operating at a low 1.35V, its dual-rank x4 configuration improves memory bandwidth and interleaving, while the Registered ECC architecture provides stable, error-corrected performance in multi-slot configurations.
1. Error-correcting code memory detects and corrects single-bit errors, ensuring data integrity for mission-critical enterprise workloads and preventing silent data corruption in 24/7 server environments.
2. Registered DIMM architecture buffers command and address signals, enabling greater memory scalability per server node without compromising signal integrity as population increases.
3. Dual Rank x4 organization interleaves data across multiple banks, boosting effective memory bandwidth to accelerate database queries and live virtual machine migrations.
4. Operating at just 1.35 volts, the module significantly cuts power draw and thermal output across dense server farms, lowering overall energy costs.
5. DDR3-1600 frequency delivers ample throughput to saturate modern multi-core processors, supporting high-density virtualization without introducing bottlenecks.
The MT36KSF1G72PZ-1G6K1F is a server-class DDR3 registered ECC memory module, purpose-built for enterprise environments where data integrity and uptime are non-negotiable. Its ECC capability actively detects and corrects single-bit memory errors, a critical defense against silent data corruption that can crash hypervisors or poison financial records. In a densely packed virtualization cluster running dozens of VMs on a single node, a single undetected bit flip could cascade into widespread service failure—this module eliminates that risk.
The registered signal buffer stabilizes the address and command lines, enabling a server to run multiple DIMMs per channel without signal degradation. This is essential when scaling to 64 GB or more per host to support large in-memory databases that demand consistent low-latency access. Meanwhile, the dual-rank x4 organization leverages rank interleaving, allowing the memory controller to prepare one rank while accessing the other, which measurably improves bandwidth for transactional workloads like OLTP.
Operating at 1.35V, this low-voltage DDR3 reduces power draw and thermal load across an entire rack of servers. In a data center, that small per-DIMM saving translates into lower cooling costs and a smaller carbon footprint over a three-year lifecycle. For applications ranging from SAP HANA to heavily consolidated VMware farms, this memory delivers the reliability, scalability, and efficiency your infrastructure depends on.
General Virtualization
This 8GB DDR3-1600 Registered ECC DIMM is suited for moderate-density virtualization hosts. Deploy modules in multiples of two or four per channel to maximize memory bandwidth, aiming for a total of 64GB to 128GB across dual-socket servers. Populate identical DIMMs in balanced configurations to maintain NUMA optimization and stable virtual machine performance under mixed workloads.
In-Memory Database
For in-memory databases demanding data integrity, install at least eight of these 8GB RDIMMs for a 64GB base capacity on a single socket, scaling to 128GB or more on dual sockets. The x4 DRAM width and dual rank design improve bank-level parallelism, while ECC and registered signaling ensure data accuracy during heavy write operations and cache-sensitive OLTP transactions.
High-Performance Computing
In HPC clusters where memory bandwidth per core matters, populate all memory channels with identical 8GB RDIMMs—typically 12 to 16 DIMMs in a dual-socket node—to leverage the dual-rank, 1600MHz speed. This delivers a balance of capacity and throughput for simulation and modeling jobs, while the 1.35V low-voltage operation reduces overall node power consumption in dense rack deployments.
This rigorously tested server memory is compatible with Dell PowerEdge R620/R720, HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8, and more.
Q: Can I mix this MT36KSF1G72PZ-1G6K1F with other memory modules of different brands or speeds?
A: Mixing this registered ECC RDIMM with non-identical modules is strongly discouraged. Mismatched brands, speeds, or ranks often cause signal integrity issues, forcing the memory controller to downclock to the lowest common speed, compromising server stability.
Q: Is this memory compatible with my system? Which Intel or AMD platforms are supported?
A: This DDR3-1600 Registered DIMM is designed for server boards using Intel Xeon E5-2600 v1/v2 or AMD Opteron 6300/4300 series processors, and chipsets like Intel C600. Verify that your motherboard supports 1.35V low-voltage registered ECC modules.
Q: What is the recommended DIMM population order for optimal performance with this module?
A: Populate identical DIMMs per memory channel to maintain balanced interleaving. For dual-processor platforms, follow the manufacturer's slot designation, typically starting with the blue slots farthest from the CPU, then black slots, to achieve optimal memory throughput.
Q: Does this module support overclocking or XMP profiles?
A: No, this is a server-grade registered ECC DIMM. It strictly adheres to JEDEC DDR3-1600 standards for mission-critical reliability. Overclocking and XMP are not supported, as they undermine the error correction and signal integrity demanded by enterprise environments.
Q: What warranty and typical failure rate can I expect for this memory module?
A: This Micron module carries a 1-year warranty and is built to enterprise-grade reliability standards. With proper thermal management, typical annualized failure rates for RDIMMs like this are below 0.3%, ensuring long-term data integrity in 24/7 operation.
