How they can have a "Pro" line without even an ECC option is mystifying to me.

I'm aware that you can buy ECC DIMMs under the Micron brand, but they badly lag behind on speed and I doubt they support XMP or EXPO.

why pro when could of just re-started ballistix line up ;/

ECC is less about speed and more about reliability.

Most "enthusiast" RAM is actually way outside of the specified standards, so when ECC sticks with the standards, people complain, but that's actually what DDR4/5 have specified, much much slower than what the "gaming" RAM speeds achieve, and for a very good reason.

If you do not care about accuracy and reliability, just steer away from it, since that is the only concern for ECC users, and comments like yours just show how outside of the target users you are.

Which is what most Professionals I know want from their machines. Because, if you're using your PC for your livelihood, then reliability is the most important thing.

Yes, most ECC memory tends to adhere to JEDEC standards. However, there are exceptions:

If it's not really intended for professionals, maybe they shouldn't call "Pro", then? There are countless other things they could've called it...

Those modules look absolutely pathetic unless they are dirt cheap.

No ECC for "Pro", < 32GB, just DDR5-6000 that you can do with pretty much anything non-Micron starting from a year ago and that at 1.35V (my 4800 Samsung does 6000 at just 1.17).

So pretty much everything is bad about those modules.

Ballistix was ballistix (and not "Crucial") because they used memory chips from other manufacturers. I guess Crucial isn't doing that anymore and so there is no sense of wasting money promoting a brand when the brand has no meaning...

People that are bragging they could get this performance from other brands don't realize that crucial ram is probably the most conservatively rated ramp in the universe so the fact that it does DDR5-6000 means it probably does DDR-6600 in nine times out of 10

Jeezus people, get over the name already. It's mid-range enthusiast memory, and like the previous poster said, being Crucial, it's probably conservatively rated.
