CAS Latency 17
CAS latency (Column Address Strobe latency) is a measure of the delay between requesting data and the beginning of its delivery. A CAS latency of 17 for the Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1 indicates a relatively low latency, contributing to faster data retrieval and system responsiveness.
Error-Correcting Code
The Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1 features ECC, a crucial technology for ensuring data integrity. ECC RAM can detect and correct common types of data corruption that may occur during data storage or transmission, enhancing the overall reliability of the system.
Registered
Being a Registered memory module, the Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1 includes a register between the RAM and the system’s memory controller. This register helps improve stability and performance, making it suitable for servers and workstations where reliability is paramount.
Quad Rank x4
The term “Quad Rank x4” denotes the organization of memory banks within the module. In this case, the memory is organized into four ranks, and each rank has an x4 configuration, meaning it uses a 4-bit data path. This arrangement contributes to increased capacity and efficiency in handling large datasets.
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory
SDRAM refers to the type of dynamic random access memory that synchronizes data transfers with the system clock. The synchronous nature ensures precise coordination between the memory module and the system, optimizing overall performance.
288-Pin Configuration
The 288-pin configuration indicates the physical design of the memory module. The Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1 is designed to fit into memory slots with 288 pins, aligning with industry standards for DDR4 memory.
Use Cases and Performance ImpactServer Environments
The Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1’s ECC and Registered features make it particularly suitable for server environments. Servers demand high reliability and stability, and the error-correction capabilities of this memory module play a crucial role in maintaining data integrity, even under heavy workloads.

Workstations handling resource-intensive tasks, such as graphic design, 3D modeling, and video editing, can benefit from the 16GB capacity and high-speed capabilities of the Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1. The low CAS latency further contributes to a smooth and responsive user experience.
Virtualization
In virtualized environments, where multiple virtual machines run concurrently, having sufficient and reliable memory is crucial. The Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1’s specifications make it well-suited for virtualization scenarios, ensuring the stable and efficient operation of virtual machines.
CAS Latency-17
CAS latency, often abbreviated as CAS, is a critical parameter that influences the memory module’s response time. The CAS-17 specification in the Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1 indicates that it has a CAS latency of 17 clock cycles. Lower CAS latency values are generally associated with faster memory access times, contributing to improved system performance.
Error-Correcting Code and Registered Design
The Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1 is equipped with an Error-Correcting Code (ECC), a feature designed to detect and correct memory errors automatically. This is particularly important in mission-critical applications where data accuracy is paramount. ECC helps maintain data integrity by identifying and rectifying single-bit errors, and preventing potential system crashes or data corruption.
Additionally, the memory module is described as “Registered.” Registered memory, also known as buffered memory, includes a register between the system’s memory controller and the memory modules. This register reduces the electrical load on the memory controller, allowing for larger memory capacities and enhanced stability.
Quad Rank X4 Configuration
The term “Quad Rank X4” provides insights into the organization of memory banks within the module.
- Quad Rank: This indicates that the memory module has four ranks. Ranks are subdivisions of a memory module, and having more ranks can improve memory performance in certain applications.
- X4: The X4 signifies that each memory bank within the module is four bits wide. This configuration is essential for efficient data storage and retrieval.
Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory
The Micron MTA36ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1 belongs to the category of Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory (SDRAM). Synchronous refers to the memory’s synchronization with the system clock, ensuring that data is transferred at the optimal time. SDRAM is a type of memory that synchronizes the data transfer rate with the system bus speed, enhancing overall performance.
288-Pin Design
The 288-Pin specification refers to the physical design of the memory module’s connector. The module is equipped with 288 gold-plated pins that facilitate a secure and reliable connection with the motherboard. This standardized pin configuration ensures compatibility with a wide range of systems that support DDR4 memory.
