Kingston 16GB DDR4 3200MHz ECC CL22 SODIMM Memory Module

Overview

The Kingston KSM32SED8/16HD is a 16GB DDR4 memory module designed for systems with a 260-pin SO DIMM slot, operating at 3200 MHz. It features error correcting code (ECC) that detects and fixes single-bit errors automatically, ensuring stability for servers and workstations where uptime is critical. Running at a low voltage of 1.2 V, this module reduces power consumption and heat, making it suitable for compact and densely packed environments.

This memory module balances speed and reliability with a CL22 latency and a dual-rank layout that maintains signal integrity on boards with multiple memory sockets. It is an ideal upgrade for edge servers, small business NAS devices, media production laptops, and embedded systems requiring ECC protection without the size of a full DIMM.
