Samsung 16GB DDR3 1333 Mbps Server Memory Module

Overview

The Samsung M392B2G70BM0-YH9 is a 16GB DDR3 Registered DIMM designed to enhance server memory capacity and reliability. Operating at a data rate of 1333 Mbps, it provides the bandwidth necessary for virtualization hosts, database engines, and other demanding server applications. Its registered design and ECC parity support ensure stable performance in multi-DIMM configurations, making it a solid choice for expanding server memory without replacing existing hardware.

Key features

• 16GB capacity that supports large datasets and multiple virtual machines, increasing server headroom
• Registered DIMM architecture buffers clock, command, and control signals to maintain signal integrity in systems with multiple memory modules
• ECC parity built in to detect and correct up to eight bits of data errors, protecting long-running services from memory faults
• Four-rank by four device layout maximizes memory density while preserving stability and performance
• Dual-voltage operation at 1.5 V or 1.35 V allows compatibility with both standard and low-voltage server motherboards, reducing power consumption
• Standard 240-pin form factor ensures easy installation in DDR3 server sockets with latch mechanisms for secure seating

Key specs

Installation and setup

Installing this memory module is straightforward. It fits into standard DDR3 server sockets equipped with latches, ensuring a secure connection. Once installed, the server firmware automatically negotiates the correct timing values, simplifying configuration and minimizing setup time. This makes it easy for administrators to expand memory capacity in 2DPC server motherboards without hardware replacement.

Performance and reliability

The registered design of this DIMM buffers critical signals, which helps maintain signal quality when multiple modules are installed on the same memory channel. This reduces the risk of data corruption and system instability. The built-in ECC parity further enhances reliability by detecting and correcting memory errors, which is essential for servers running continuous workloads and critical applications.

Ideal uses and environments

This memory module is well suited to enterprise servers that handle virtualization, large databases, and other memory-intensive tasks. It fits well in data centers and IT environments where expanding memory capacity without downtime or hardware overhaul is a priority. Its dual-voltage capability also makes it adaptable to a range of server platforms, helping reduce power consumption in energy-conscious setups.
