Crucial makes a range of memory and solid state storage devices for desktops, notebooks, games machines, Macs, and servers.
Its new 2666 MT/s, 8Gb-based server memory modules are approximately 11% faster than 2400 MT/s DIMMs and can service the latest server motherboard chipsets as well as cloud and enterprise environments that are migrating to next-generation Intel server platforms.
“Improving system performance in the data centre is one of many priorities organisations are looking to address as the need to meet ever-increasing and more demanding workloads evolves,” said Michael Moreland, Crucial Server DRAM product marketing manager. “Crucial’s new 2666MT/s server modules can help data centre, and hyper-scale customers reduce performance burdens by using faster memory to help advance the efficiencies of their server systems.”

DDR4 SDRAM (double data rate, fourth-generation, synchronous dynamic random-access memory) is the next generation of memory following DDR3, DDR2, etc. As with every generation, it focuses on increased data transfer rates, increased capacity, and decreased voltage. DDR type is identified by a “notch” in the “golden fingers” and is not backwards or forwards compatible.
DDR4 is optionally supported by Intel Core 6th generation Skylake or later and must be used for its Haswell-based Xeon E3/5/7. It also requires the motherboard to have the right support chipset like Z170, X99, H170, C232, and C236 – some boards only support DDR3.
DDR4 is faster and also comes in ECC (error correcting code) usually for servers.
