DELL M393B5170DZ1-CF8 – 4GB 2Rx4 PC3-8500R DDR3-1066MHz

Detailed Description:

The DELL M393B5170DZ1-CF8 is a 4GB DDR3 memory module specifically engineered for use in select Dell servers. Operating at 1066MHz, it is classified under the PC3-8500R specification, signifying its capability to deliver reliable performance for server applications that do not require the highest memory speeds but still benefit from the added stability and integrity of ECC (Error-Correcting Code) and registered memory. With a 2Rx4 configuration, this module has a dual rank setup and utilizes x4 based DRAM chips, optimizing it for efficient performance in a server’s multi-tasking and data processing tasks. The ‘R’ in its specification indicates that this memory module is registered or buffered, introducing a register between the memory module and the system’s memory controller to manage the command and data transfers more effectively. This architecture helps in stabilizing the electrical loads presented to the memory controller by buffering the data, thus enabling stable operation of the system under heavy workloads. Moreover, the ECC technology embedded within provides an essential layer of security against data corruption by automatically detecting and correcting the most common types of internal data errors. Ideal for environments where system stability and data integrity are crucial but the cutting edge of memory speed isn’t necessary, the DELL M393B5170DZ1-CF8 offers a balanced solution for server upgrades. It is best suited for applications such as file servers, web hosting, and other medium-load tasks where reliability overshadows the need for the highest memory speed.
