The Samsung M393B2G70DB0-YK0 is a 16GB ECC registered DDR3-1600 server memory module, suitable for compatible systems that require 240-pin, 2Rx4 registered DIMMs.
Recommended For
- Owners of a compatible DDR3-1600 ECC registered server who need a 16GB replacement or capacity upgrade; Intel lists this exact module in its Xeon E5-2600 v2 RDIMM validation results.
- Home-lab or NAS operators adding memory to an older server whose motherboard and CPU explicitly support DDR3 ECC registered DIMMs; check the system’s memory rules before buying.
- IT refurbishers maintaining legacy DDR3 servers who want to match a failed or existing 16GB Samsung 2Rx4 registered DIMM by part number.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- When an older server that supports DDR3 ECC registered memory is running short on RAM, add this module to increase capacity for its existing workloads; confirm the server’s memory rules and supported configurations first.
- For a homelab host running several virtual machines, use compatible modules to expand total RAM so more guest systems and services can run together with less memory pressure; results depend on the server’s total capacity and workload.
- In a compatible TrueNAS or other file-server build, add memory to increase headroom for file-sharing services, applications, and read caching; the benefit depends on the system’s workload and total installed RAM.
- When maintaining or repurposing an older Xeon-era server for home services or lab testing, this module can provide an additional 16GB of server memory without changing the platform, provided the system accepts this DIMM type and capacity.
- For an always-on home server handling storage and several background services, install compatible modules to increase RAM available to the combined workload; this adds capacity, but does not by itself make the server faster or guarantee data integrity.
