32 GB Capacity: The module has 32 gigabytes of memory.
DDR5: It’s DDR5 (the latest generation of DDR memory), which offers higher speeds, better efficiency, and more advanced features than DDR4.
2R×8 (Dual Rank × 8):
2R = dual-rank: the memory has two “ranks” of memory chips, which can improve performance in some workloads, but may have compatibility constraints with some systems.
×8 = each DRAM chip is organized in an 8-bit wide configuration. Often, this means the internal composition is (2 G × 8) × 16 for 32 GB, as per Transcend’s spec.
Form Factor (DIMM Type): The exact form factor depends on the model — there are SO-DIMM (for laptops) and Long DIMM (for desktops) variants:
For example, the JM5600ASE-32G is a SO-DIMM (262-pin, used in laptops).
There’s also a Long DIMM 32GB DDR5 5600 part: TS5600ALE-32G.
Speed / Frequency: Many of these Transcend 32 GB DDR5 modules run at 5600 MT/s.
CAS Latency: For the 5600 MT/s SO-DIMM version, it’s CL46.
Voltage: These DDR5 modules operate at 1.1 V, which is lower than older DDR generations, helping with power efficiency.
On-Die ECC: Transcend’s DDR5 modules have on-die error correction (ECC), which improves data integrity by detecting/correcting some errors internally.
Power Management IC (PMIC): The modules are built with a PMIC to provide stable power delivery and reduce signal noise.
Operating Temperature: Standard operating temp is 0°C to ~85°C for many of their modules.
Pins / Physical:
SO-DIMM: 262 pins, PCB height ~1.18 inches.
Long DIMM: 288 pins.
Warranty: Transcend offers a limited lifetime warranty on these DDR5 modules.
Quality / Reliability: These modules are made with major-brand DRAM chips, go through strict screening and environmental testing.
