CT16G4DFRA266 Crucial 1x16GB DDR4 UDIMM RAM

Low-Profile DDR4 UDIMM Memory Upgrade for Stable Platform Throughput with the CT16G4DFRA266

The CT16G4DFRA266 is a Crucial DDR4 UDIMM engineered to expand capacity on 288-pin desktop and workstation platforms that rely on JEDEC-standard memory behaviour for predictable CPU-side bandwidth and latency. By providing a 16GB single-module footprint, CT16G4DFRA266 supports balanced channel population strategies, enabling IT teams to scale memory per socket without changing the compute node’s power or thermal profile.

Designed for DDR4-2666 operation at 1.2V, CT16G4DFRA266 aligns cleanly with mainstream Intel and AMD generations where memory stability is prioritised over profile-driven overclocking. In systems where PCIe lanes are allocated to NVMe storage and accelerators, this module helps keep the CPU’s memory subsystem from becoming the limiting factor for VM density, compilation tasks, analytics pipelines, and edge appliances that depend on consistent DRAM availability in compact chassis.

Why Choose the CT16G4DFRA266?

CT16G4DFRA266 delivers an enterprise-friendly density-to-cost ratio for homogeneous fleet upgrades, while its low-profile UDIMM form factor simplifies deployment in space-constrained builds and front-to-back airflow designs. CT16G4DFRA266 is well suited to standardised rollouts where reliability, repeatable performance, and straightforward scalability across identical nodes are required.

Crucial applies a validation-focused engineering approach centred on JEDEC compliance and broad platform interoperability. This emphasis supports long service life in managed environments, making Crucial memory a practical choice for modern data centre standards, controlled change management, and consistent provisioning across mixed workloads.

Key Applications:

• Workstation and desktop memory expansion
• Virtualisation and VDI host capacity scaling
• Edge appliances and compact compute nodes
