Description
Product Information
SNPWX731CK2/8G is an 8GB memory module made by Dell, specifically designed for servers. It consists of two 4GB DDR2 SDRAM FBDIMMs, which are ECC registered and operate at a frequency of 800MHz. In this article, we will explain the specifications of this memory module and discuss its features and benefits.
DDR2 SDRAM
DDR2 SDRAM stands for Double Data Rate Two Synchronous Dynamic Random-Access Memory. It is a type of volatile memory used in computers for storing data temporarily. The term “double data rate” means that the memory can send and receive data twice per clock cycle, which results in faster data transfer rates than traditional SDRAM.
ECC Registered
ECC stands for Error-Correcting Code. ECC memory is designed to detect and correct errors that occur during data storage and retrieval. This is important in server environments where data integrity is crucial. ECC memory uses a special algorithm to check for errors and correct them automatically. Registered memory, on the other hand, adds a buffer between the memory controller and the memory chips, which helps to reduce the load on the controller and improve stability.
240-Pin FBDIMM
FBDIMM stands for Fully Buffered Dual In-line Memory Module. FBDIMMs are a type of memory module that use a special buffer chip to improve data transfer rates and reduce signal noise. The buffer chip is located between the memory controller and the memory chips, and it acts as an intermediary between the two. FBDIMMs use a 240-pin interface, which is different from the 184-pin interface used by traditional DIMMs.
CL6
CL stands for CAS Latency, which is a measure of the delay between the time a memory controller requests data from memory and the time the data is available. The lower the CAS Latency, the faster the memory. In the case of SNPWX731CK2/8G, the CAS Latency is 6.
PC2-6400
PC2-6400 is a type of DDR2 memory that operates at a frequency of 800MHz. The “PC” in the name stands for Personal Computer, and the number represents the maximum bandwidth in megabytes per second (MB/s). In the case of PC2-6400, the maximum bandwidth is 6400MB/s.
8GB 2x4GB
SNPWX731CK2/8G is an 8GB memory module that consists of two 4GB DDR2 SDRAM FBDIMMs. This configuration allows for better performance and stability than using a single 8GB module. It also provides some level of redundancy, as one module can continue to operate if the other fails.
Benefits of SNPWX731CK2/8G
The SNPWX731CK2/8G memory module is specifically designed for use in servers. It provides several benefits over traditional memory modules:
- Improved Data Transfer Rates: The FBDIMM architecture used in SNPWX731CK2/8G improves data transfer rates by reducing signal noise and increasing signal strength. This results in faster access times and improved system performance.
- Error Correction: The ECC feature of SNPWX731CK2/8G detects and corrects errors that occur during data storage and retrieval. This ensures data integrity and reduces the risk of data loss or corruption.
- Increased Stability: The use of registered memory in SNPWX731CK2/8G reduces the load on the memory controller and improves stability. This is important in server environments where system uptime is critical.
- Redundancy: The use of two 4GB modules instead of a single 8GB module provides some level of redundancy.
