The A2257216 is a Dell-branded DDR2 RAM module with a capacity of 16GB and a clock speed of 667MHz. DDR2 (Double Data Rate 2) is a type of SDRAM (Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory) that was popular in computer systems from the mid-2000s to early 2010s.
The clock speed of the RAM, in this case 667MHz, refers to the number of times per second that the RAM can access and transfer data. The higher the clock speed, the faster the RAM can perform its functions. However, the clock speed is not the only factor that determines the RAM's performance.
ECC (Error-Correcting Code) and Registered are additional features of this RAM module. ECC RAM has extra hardware that can detect and correct errors that may occur during data transfer. Registered RAM, also known as buffered RAM, is a type of memory module that includes a buffer between the memory controller and the memory chips. This buffer reduces the electrical load on the memory controller, allowing for greater reliability and stability at high speeds and capacities.
The high capacity of this RAM module, 16GB, allows it to store more data than lower-capacity modules. This is useful for memory-intensive applications such as video editing, 3D rendering, and virtualization. However, it's important to note that the capacity of RAM is not the only factor that determines a computer's performance. Other components, such as the processor and storage drives, also play important roles.
Capacity and FrequencyA2257216 refers to the product code for a specific type of RAM module manufactured by Dell.
The capacity of this RAM module is 16GB, which means it can store up to 16 gigabytes of data at any given time. This is a fairly large amount of memory, and is suitable for use in high-performance computing applications or servers that need to handle large amounts of data.
The frequency of this RAM module is 667MHz, which refers to the speed at which data can be transferred between the RAM module and the computer's processor. A higher frequency generally means faster data transfer, which can lead to improved system performance.
The RAM module uses DDR2 SDRAM technology, which is a type of RAM that uses double data rate (DDR) to transfer data on both the rising and falling edges of the clock signal, effectively doubling the transfer rate.
Lastly, the RAM module is ECC Registered, which means it has Error-Correcting Code (ECC) and uses Register to control the flow of data between the RAM module and the memory controller. ECC helps to detect and correct errors in the data stored in memory, which is important for applications that require high levels of reliability and data integrity.
Energy EfficiencyEnergy efficiency refers to the ability of a computing system to perform tasks with minimal energy consumption. While the A2257216 Dell 16GB RAM module does not directly impact the energy efficiency of a computing system, it can indirectly contribute to it in several ways.
Firstly, a larger RAM module like the A2257216 Dell 16GB module can help reduce the need for a computer to access a hard drive or other slower storage media. When a computer runs out of RAM, it has to start using its hard drive as a temporary storage space, which can be much slower and consume more power than accessing data from RAM. By increasing the amount of RAM, the computer can work faster and access data more efficiently, reducing overall energy consumption.
Secondly, the A2257216 Dell 16GB RAM module is an ECC Registered module. ECC (Error-Correcting Code) is a technology that helps detect and correct errors in data stored in RAM. By ensuring data integrity, ECC can help reduce the need for retransmissions or additional processing, which can save energy.
Lastly, the A2257216 Dell 16GB RAM module is rated for a lower frequency of 667MHz, which means it consumes less power compared to higher frequency RAM modules. While this difference may be small, it can still contribute to a more energy-efficient computing system.

About New Bulk Pack Products
Warranty
ALLHDD guarantees that the products will not have defects in material that will affect the product's functionality during the Standard Warranty Period. The warranty period starts when the merchandise/items from our warehouse.
What does ALLHDD.Com warranty cover?
30-days to 3 years warranty:
Replacement or refund. In the case of material defects, we will try to replace the product first. The product will be replaced before the expiration of the original warranty. For any failure of hardware, if we cannot process the replacement of the product(s)/model(s), we will refund the original selling/invoiced price. The shipping costs and sales tax, if any, are non-refundable. ALLHDD retains the right to decide whether the item(s) will process for replacement or refund.
What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
Final Sale items are non-returnable/refundable in any situation. Any question? please ask our team before the shipment.
