16GB DDR3 PC3-12800R ECC RDIMM

The 16GB DDR3 PC3-12800R ECC RDIMM is a 16 GB DDR3 ECC server memory module rated at 1600 MT/s, part code PC3-12800R. It works in HPE ProLiant Gen8 servers. RDIMM is the standard server choice: a registered buffer, lower latency than LRDIMM and full ECC support. ECC means a single-bit memory error is corrected before it ever reaches your application. On a workstation that is a nice extra; on a server that runs for months without a reboot it is the difference between “a bit flipped” and “the database is corrupt”. One configuration detail that is often missed: populate channel by channel, not slot by slot. Six modules across three channels are considerably faster than six modules on one channel — the correct order is in the server model’s own memory-population guide. Also, if you mix modules of different speeds they all run at the speed of the slowest one.
