Kingston KTD-PE548E-16G

KSh27,140.00

About the Product

It’s 16 GB DDR5, with 4800 MT/s (PC5‑38400) speed, giving you modern‑generation RAM performance.
It’s an ECC module — that means it supports error‑checking and correction, which is very important for server reliability and data integrity in server / workstation environments.
The form factor is 288‑pin DIMM, and it’s unbuffered (UDIMM), single‑rank (1Rx8), making it compatible with many server/workstation motherboards that support DDR5 ECC UDIMMs.
Operating voltage is 1.1 V, which is standard for DDR5 — decent for power consumption and heat.
Single‑module (16 GB) format makes it easy to upgrade or scale memory in increments.
Lifetime warranty and the pedigree of a recognized brand — good for long-term reliability and support.
Intended Use: Servers / Workstations / Systems requiring ECC UDIMM support (not standard desktops or laptops)

Kingston Branded Memory 16GB DDR5 4800MT/s ECC Module KTD-PE548E-16G Server Memory

Description Overview

A 16 GB DDR5 ECC UDIMM designed for servers and workstations. Runs at 4800 MT/s (PC5‑38400) with CAS latency CL40, uses a 288‑pin DIMM form factor, and operates at 1.1 V. The built‑in ECC (Error‑Correcting Code) helps detect and correct memory errors, offering improved stability and reliability — ideal for data‑critical workloads or enterprise systems.

Key Specifications & Features

Capacity: 16 GB (1 × 16 GB module)
Memory type: DDR5 ECC SDRAM — modern DDR5 standard with error‑correction support
Speed / Data rate: 4800 MT/s (PC5‑38400) — good bandwidth for server / workstation tasks
Form factor: 288‑pin DIMM (desktop/server‑style module)
CAS latency: CL40 — the delay between memory request and data availability under normal conditions
Voltage: 1.1 V — lower power consumption and less heat compared with older/higher-voltage memory types
ECC (Error‑Correcting Code): Yes — provides error detection and correction, improving data integrity and system stability (important for servers/workstations)
Rank and buffering: Single‑rank, unbuffered (UDIMM) — typical for ECC server‑class or workstation RAM modules rather than registered/buffered RDIMMs.

Key Advantages

Error detection & correction → improved data integrity
Because the module supports ECC (Error‑Correcting Code), it can automatically detect and correct single‑bit memory errors — and detect (though not always correct) multi‑bit errors. This helps prevent silent data corruption.
Greater system stability and reliability
ECC memory significantly reduces the risk of crashes, freezes, or data corruption caused by memory errors — which is especially important for servers, workstations, or any system doing heavy or continuous workloads.
Better protection against “soft errors” and external disturbances
ECC helps guard against soft errors caused by environmental factors (like cosmic rays, electromagnetic interference, etc.) — errors which non‑ECC RAM cannot catch reliably.
Enhanced suitability for critical workloads and data‑sensitive applications
For applications where accuracy matters (databases, financial computing, scientific simulations, virtual machines, enterprise services, etc.), ECC RAM gives an added layer of safety that helps avoid subtle memory‑related failures.
Improved uptime and reduced downtime risk
By catching and correcting errors on the fly, ECC memory helps systems run longer without failure or the need for reboots — a major plus for always‑on servers or enterprise environments.

⚠️ Things to check

This module is designed primarily for servers or workstation‑class motherboards rather than typical desktop PCs or laptops.
Because it’s ECC + unbuffered, not all motherboards (especially consumer desktops) will support it properly — you need to ensure your motherboard & CPU support DDR5 ECC UDIMM.
CAS latency is CL40, which on DDR5 ECC server RAM is normal but might be slightly higher than very low-latency performance‑oriented (non‑ECC, gaming/workstation) modules — but ECC prioritizes stability over lowest latency.

Where this RAM shines — Ideal Use Cases

Servers and Business Workloads — Since the module supports ECC, it’s great for servers running databases, file servers, mail servers, or other back‑end services where data integrity is critical. ECC helps prevent silent memory errors that could corrupt data or crash the server.
Workstations for Professional / Enterprise Use — For workstations used for financial systems, accounting, scientific computing, data analysis, or any environment where accuracy matters more than raw speed, ECC memory gives an extra layer of protection.
Virtualization / Virtual Machines Hosts — If you run multiple VMs on a single physical machine (e.g. for development, testing, or small-scale cloud/dedicated hosting), ECC helps ensure stability across all guest systems even under heavy memory usage.
Long‑running / Always‑on Systems — Systems that need to run continuously (24/7 uptime), such as network servers, monitoring servers, or storage servers. ECC reduces the risk of crashes or data corruption over time, increasing reliability and uptime.
Data‑Critical Applications — Applications where data corruption cannot be tolerated — e.g. financial transactions, databases, backups, logging systems, scientific simulations — ECC provides error correction to protect memory contents, reducing risks of silent corruption.
