Samsung M386A8K40CM2-CTD

Overview

The Samsung M386A8K40CM2-CTD is a 64GB DDR4 server memory module designed to enhance system capacity while maintaining low power consumption. Operating at 2666 Mbps with a 1.2 V power draw, it delivers increased bandwidth and efficiency, making it well suited for high-density server environments and energy-conscious data centers. Its load reduced DIMM (LRDIMM) architecture helps maintain signal integrity and stability even when multiple modules are installed per channel.

Key features

• Load reduced DIMM design that offloads clock, command, and control signals to a dedicated register, reducing electrical load on the memory controller
• Separate data buffer for handling data lines, enabling support for up to three modules per channel without compromising stability
• High-density 64GB capacity with a 4R x 4 rank layout built from (DDP4G x 4) x 36 components, ideal for intensive workloads
• Operates at a low voltage of 1.2 V to minimize heat generation and power consumption in server racks
• Compatible with any server motherboard supporting DDR4 LRDIMM modules at 2666 Mbps speed and 288-pin form factor
• Supports demanding applications such as virtualization, in-memory databases, and real-time analytics by providing ample memory headroom and bandwidth

Connectivity and compatibility

This memory module fits into standard DDR4 server slots with a 288-pin form factor. It supports systems that allow up to three LRDIMMs per channel, which helps maximize memory capacity without sacrificing signal quality. Its compatibility with a wide range of server motherboards makes it a flexible choice for upgrading existing infrastructure or building new high-performance servers.

Performance and reliability

The load reduced DIMM architecture enhances signal integrity by managing command and control signals separately from data lines. This design reduces electrical load on the memory controller, allowing for higher memory densities and improved stability under heavy workloads. The module’s low operating voltage also contributes to reduced heat output, which is critical for maintaining reliability in densely packed server environments.

Ideal uses and environments

This 64GB DDR4 module is well suited for data centers and enterprise servers that require large memory capacities and efficient power usage. It supports virtualization hosts, in-memory databases, and real-time analytics applications that demand fast and reliable memory access. Its design helps maintain system responsiveness and throughput in environments where multiple memory modules are installed per channel.

Orders are processed within 2 business days, which includes verification, packing, and dispatch. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on destination, total weight, and selected speed. Free shipping applies to carts over $100 (excluding heavyweight items). All available options and final pricing are clearly shown before payment so you can choose the service that best fits your needs.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
