Review on πŸ’ͺ High-Performance Crucial 8GB DDR3 1600MHz ECC Server Memory - Improve Your System's Speed and Efficiency with Unbuffered UDIMM by Rodney Harris

Revainrating 5 out of 5

ECC without pain (wallet)!

If you're looking for unbuffered ECC memory for AMD platforms, this works great! ATX motherboard and this memory module. As far as I know, AM1M-A is the ONLY AM1 motherboard that supports ECC-U (AM1 fully supports it but requires BIOS support). Thanks to FreeBSD and a large ZFS disk cluster, everything is running smoothly for us! When the disks are updated I will add another one of this module. I have to say that ECC memory is hotter than regular Fast Page DDR memory and added a DIMM heatsink for cooling, but the server hasn't shown temperatures over 40C on the internal thermistor block yet (and it was a full load ). so overall it shows that it's a pretty cool module.

Pros
  • Computer components
Cons
  • Can I add something?
