Samsung 64GB DDR4 2400MHz ECC Load Reduced Server Memory — M386A8K40BM1-CRC50

The Samsung M386A8K40BM1-CRC50 is a 64GB DDR4 ECC Load Reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) server memory module operating at 2400MHz (PC4-19200) with CAS latency CL17 and 1.2V operating voltage. This high-density 64GB Quad Rank x4 LRDIMM uses a memory buffer to reduce electrical load on the memory controller — enabling higher DIMM counts per channel than standard RDIMMs while maintaining signal integrity. Error-Correcting Code (ECC) technology continuously detects and corrects single-bit memory errors in real time, ensuring data integrity in mission-critical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an LRDIMM and an RDIMM?

An LRDIMM (Load Reduced DIMM) uses a memory buffer chip to isolate DRAM from the memory controller, reducing electrical load and enabling more DIMMs per channel than standard RDIMMs. This allows higher total system memory capacity at the cost of slightly higher latency. LRDIMMs and RDIMMs are not interchangeable.

What does the CRC50 qualification suffix indicate?

Samsung uses qualification suffixes to denote OEM validation, regional certification, or specific server vendor testing. CRC50 identifies this module's exact qualification tier — always cross-reference with your server vendor's memory compatibility or QVL list before purchase.

Is this module compatible with DDR5 servers?

No — DDR4 LRDIMMs are only compatible with DDR4 LRDIMM-capable server platforms. Always verify your server's memory type and DIMM type requirements before ordering.

Whether you are maximizing per-server memory capacity for large-scale virtualization, accelerating in-memory database performance, or expanding a high-density DDR4 server infrastructure, the Samsung M386A8K40BM1-CRC50 delivers the 64GB DDR4 LRDIMM capacity, ECC protection, and Samsung manufacturing quality your enterprise server environment demands.
