Canada WTB - Unicorn RAM? 16GB ddr3 ECC SODIMM

[Helzy]

Trying to max some memory on a WD Sentinel DS6100 uses ECC and I may be looking for a unicorn because I can't seem to find even a single 16gb ecc ddr3 sodimm but I'm reasonably certain they existed. Maybe my google-fu just sucks?

They exist, though rare and normally expensive.

I have a few sets that I am using in Supermicro A1SRi-2758F Mini-ITX motherboards to get to 64GB. The Micron part number for these is MT18KSF2G72HZ. Your machine may need something different, there are also MT36 prefixed parts that are a different organization. I also have a set made by ATP that works in the Supermicro but mostly the Micron ones are all I have ever come across.

i doubt if you get 16gb sodimm they will work with the intel CPU inside.
this gen is limited to 4GB per rank, a 8GB SODIMM will have 2 ranks.
a 16GB SODIMM must have 4 ranks to work.
AMDs are well know for support of 8GB per rank. maybe you remember the cheap DDR3 8GB DIMMs marked with "AMD only"

I have that, lol. PM?

If OP doesn't want it since it's non-ecc, I would be interested in it for some old stuff I have that can use it.

Oops my bad! I see it is ECC when I research the part number. This is the ram OP is looking for!

Hi Zac, that would appear to be the wee beasty I need, do you have a matched pair?

Exactly 2 pulled from Supermicro systems.

And what would it take to pry them from your warm living hands (assuming you're not undead)?

Just saw your PM will respond to that lol.

^^^^

These were limited to 32GB per proc and 8GB per module. I was looking for the wrong RAM. Figured I should update with my bad.

Sometimes the 'supported x' specs are because stuff was just not available, so you could try it if you have them.

C2000 SoCs support 16 GB DIMMs, though the need for them to be UDIMMs made them ridiculously expensive and rare. There was a single company behind those, IIRC they effectively had pseudo-LRDIMMs that felt like UDIMMs to the memory controller.
