FAQ
What Apple systems is this memory module compatible with?
This Axiom memory module is specifically validated for compatibility with the Apple iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) model. It uses the 260-pin SODIMM form factor designed for notebook systems and operates at DDR4-2400 speed with 1.20V voltage, meeting the electrical and timing requirements of compatible Apple systems.
What is the difference between DDR4-2400 and PC4-19200?
DDR4-2400 refers to the memory technology and data transfer rate of 2400 million transfers per second. PC4-19200 indicates the peak bandwidth specification, representing 19,200 MB/s of theoretical maximum bandwidth. Both designations describe the same memory performance characteristics using different measurement systems, with this module meeting both standards.
What does CL17 latency mean for memory performance?
CL17 indicates a CAS latency of 17 clock cycles, which measures the delay between when a memory controller requests data and when that data becomes available. This timing affects memory responsiveness, with CL17 providing balanced performance for DDR4-2400 memory. Lower latency numbers generally indicate faster response times, though actual performance depends on the complete timing profile.
Can this memory module be used in systems other than Apple notebooks?
This module is specifically validated for Apple iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) compatibility. While it uses standard 260-pin SODIMM form factor and DDR4-2400 specifications, compatibility with other systems depends on those systems' specific memory requirements, timing profiles, and voltage specifications. Always verify compatibility with your system manufacturer before installation.
What advantages does DDR4 technology provide over previous generations?
DDR4 memory technology offers several improvements including higher data transfer rates, increased memory density per module, and reduced power consumption. This module operates at 1.20V compared to DDR3's typical 1.35V or 1.5V, providing better power efficiency. DDR4 also features improved signal integrity and higher bandwidth capabilities, supporting faster system performance in compatible systems.
What warranty coverage does this memory module include?
This Axiom memory module includes a lifetime limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. The warranty ensures long-term reliability and provides protection against manufacturing defects. Environmental compliance with RoHS standards further supports product quality and responsible manufacturing practices.
