Super Talent Technology, a provider of Flash storage products and DRAM memory modules, has launched (VLP) DDR3-1333 Registered DIMM, designed for use in servers with compact and low-profile enclosures.
Joe James, director of marketing at Super Talent, said: “We made this product for high density servers and embedded computers where space inside the chassis is severely constrained.”
According to Super Talent, the new 2GB ECC registered module is 0.72-inches tall, nearly half an inch shorter than standard height DDR3 modules. The VLP modules require about 40% less PCB material to produce, and they weigh about 20% less compared to standard height modules. They are suitable in1U servers since their small stature improves airflow inside the chassis.
The company claims that the VLP DIMMs cost less to ship and eco-friendly than standard height modules. The module, part number W13VB2G8x, is organised as a 256M x 72 dual rank 240-pin DIMM. It is fully JEDEC compliant and has been validated on Supermicro server boards to ensure reliability.
Like all the company’s DDR3 server memory modules, the new modules include a JEDEC standard thermal sensor in the EEPROM that measures actual temperature on the module. If the module temperature rises above a threshold level, the memory clock speed can be throttled via the SM bus to protect the memory components against overheating, Super Talent said.
