HMT42GR7BFR4C-RDT4-AD SK Hynix 16GB DDR3-1866 CL13 ECC RDIMM

What does ECC mean in this memory module?

ECC stands for Error-Correcting Code, which allows the memory to detect and correct data errors, enhancing system reliability especially in server environments.

Is this SK Hynix module compatible with all DDR3 systems?

This module is specifically designed as a DDR3 ECC Registered DIMM and is compatible with systems that support DDR3-1866 registered ECC memory, typically servers and workstations.

What does CAS Latency 13 signify?

CAS Latency 13 indicates the number of clock cycles the memory takes to access a column of data, with 13 cycles reflecting its timing characteristic impacting performance and stability.

Can this memory be used in standard desktop PCs?

This module is intended for server and workstation use due to its ECC and registered design and is generally not compatible with standard desktop PCs that require unbuffered, non-ECC memory.

What is the significance of the RDIMM form factor?

Registered DIMMs (RDIMMs) include a register between the memory controller and DRAM modules, which helps in stabilizing signals and supporting larger memory configurations in servers.

Does the 1866 MHz speed affect compatibility?

The 1866 MHz speed specifies the data transfer rate; systems must support DDR3-1866 speeds or operate at compatible lower speeds for proper functionality.
