370-BBQP Dell 64GB DDR4 ECC Memory Sdram Module PC4-25600

Dell 370-BBQP 64GB Server Memory Module

Memory Capacity

The Dell 370-BBQP features a substantial 64GB memory capacity utilizing a single 1x64GB module configuration. This high-density memory architecture is engineered for servers requiring significant RAM capacity without consuming multiple memory slots. The module employs a 2Rx4 (Dual Rank x4) organization, which enhances memory access efficiency and overall system performance compared to single-rank modules. This configuration allows for better memory bandwidth utilization by enabling the memory controller to access two sets of memory banks alternately, reducing access latency and improving data throughput in memory-intensive applications.

Memory Technology and Performance

Operating at 3200MHz (PC4-25600), this DDR4 SDRAM module delivers high-speed data transfer rates capable of handling demanding server workloads. The PC4-25600 designation indicates a peak transfer rate of 25,600 MB/s, ensuring rapid data access and processing capabilities. With CAS Latency of CL22, this module provides optimized timing characteristics for server environments where reliability and stability are prioritized alongside performance. The 1.2V operating voltage represents the JEDEC standard for DDR4 memory, offering improved power efficiency compared to previous DDR3 generations while maintaining robust performance characteristics.

Advanced Memory Features

The Dell 370-BBQP incorporates ECC (Error Correcting Code) technology, which provides crucial data integrity protection for mission-critical server environments. ECC memory detects and corrects single-bit memory errors automatically, preventing data corruption and system crashes that can result from memory errors. This capability is essential for servers running financial applications, databases, scientific computing, and other applications where data accuracy is paramount. The module's registered design includes a register (or buffer) between the memory controller and DRAM chips, which reduces electrical load on the memory controller and enables support for higher memory capacities and more DIMMs per channel.

Registered DIMM Advantages

As an RDIMM (Registered Dual In-Line Memory Module), the 370-BBQP provides enhanced signal integrity and system stability in multi-DIMM configurations. The register buffers command and address signals, allowing server systems to support larger memory capacities across multiple channels without signal degradation. This makes RDIMM technology particularly suitable for enterprise servers, workstations, and data center environments where maximum memory capacity and reliability are required. The registered design ensures stable operation even under heavy memory loads and in systems with numerous installed modules.

Dual Rank Architecture Benefits

The dual rank configuration of this memory module represents an optimal balance between performance and manufacturing efficiency. Dual rank modules contain two sets of memory chips that can be accessed independently, though not simultaneously. This architecture allows the memory controller to maintain activity on one rank while preparing access to the other, effectively hiding precharge and activation delays. The result is improved memory bandwidth utilization compared to single-rank modules, particularly in applications that benefit from interleaving memory accesses between ranks. The x4 data width organization (four-bit prefetch) further enhances memory efficiency and is particularly well-suited for server applications requiring high reliability.
