SMART Modular Technologies has announced the launch of its latest memory module, a high-capacity 64 GB DDR5-6400 ECC CSODIMM. This new memory is designed specifically for demanding environments and applications, including high-performance computing (HPC) in industrial, edge, telecom, and networking systems.
The module is engineered to provide reliable operation in what are often referred to as “harsh environments,” offering both commercial-temperature (C-temp) and industrial-temperature (I-temp) options. This versatility makes it ideal for next-generation platforms that require reliable memory in challenging conditions.
What is a CSODIMM?
The new memory comes in a compact CSODIMM form factor, which delivers higher density and faster bandwidth. Crucially, it includes error correction capability (ECC), which is essential for ensuring data integrity and reliability in mission-critical applications.
Part of what makes this module so robust is the inclusion of a CKD (clock driver). This component is key for high-speed operation, as it regenerates and amplifies the clock signal. This process is vital for maintaining signal integrity, ensuring synchronous timing, and reducing errors, especially when pushing the limits of speed.
Features at a Glance
SMART’s expanded DDR5 SODIMM family now ranges from 16 GB up to this new 64 GB capacity, including 16 GB, 32 GB, and 48 GB options.
Here is a quick rundown of the key features of the new SMART 64 GB DDR5-6400 ECC CSODIMM:
- Capacity: 64 GB (significantly expanding the DDR5 SODIMM portfolio)
- Data Rate: Up to 6400 MT/s
- Reliability: ECC support for improved data integrity
- Form Factor: Compact CSODIMM for use in space-constrained systems
- Temperature Support: Available in C-temp and I-temp for harsh deployment conditions
The director of Integrated Memory DRAM product marketing at Penguin Solutions, Arthur Sainio, had this to say:
“Adding a 64 GB DDR5-6400 ECC CSODIMM strengthens SMART’s leadership in ruggedized, high-performance memory solutions. Industrial and networking customers now have access to both high-capacity and wide-temperature support in a very compact DDR5 SODIMM design.”
What We Think
This new offering from SMART looks set to be a fantastic option for system designers working on industrial and networking projects. The combination of massive capacity, high speed, ECC support, and the option for industrial temperature operation addresses many of the common challenges faced in these specialised areas.
Where to Buy
Sampling of the new DDR5-6400 ECC CSODIMM is available now. For businesses and system integrators looking to implement this memory, you will need to contact SMART Modular Technologies or one of their authorised distributors for availability and pricing.
