Server SODIMM for compact ECC platforms

This 8 GB Crucial module is a 204-pin DDR3L SODIMM rated at 1600 MT/s with CL11 latency and 1.35 V operation. It targets notebooks, microservers and other small-form-factor systems that require error-correcting code memory in an unbuffered layout. The part number CT102472BF160B identifies the exact specification for ordering and inventory tracking.

ECC unbuffered operation changes data integrity

Error-correcting code detects and corrects single-bit errors without the added latency of registered buffering, making it suitable for workloads that value uptime in space-constrained chassis. The 1.35 V DDR3L voltage reduces power draw compared to standard 1.5 V DDR3 while maintaining the same 1600 MT/s data rate. No additional software or drivers are required beyond BIOS support for ECC.

Verify slot type and voltage before ordering

The system must provide a 204-pin DDR3 SODIMM slot and a chipset that supports DDR3 memory; a DDR3 SODIMM will not fit DDR2 or DDR sockets. Confirm that the platform accepts 1.35 V DDR3L modules and can enable ECC in the BIOS, as some consumer chipsets disable the feature. The module’s physical length is approximately 2.6 inches with 102 pins per side.

Questions about this item

Will the ECC error-correction logic on the CT102472BF160B wear out and require module replacement?

ECC is a circuit function, not a consumable part, so the module itself does not need scheduled replacement for error-correction wear.

What thermal limit appears first when this 1.35 V DDR3L SODIMM runs continuously at 1600 MT/s?

The JEDEC-rated 1.35 V operating voltage is the primary electrical limit; sustained loads stay within that envelope unless the platform exceeds specification.

How much heat and fan noise does this unbuffered 8 GB stick add in a 24/7 server?

DDR3L at 1.35 V draws less power than standard DDR3, so the module contributes minimal extra heat and requires no dedicated cooling.
