Curious whether memory controllers can stripe bytes across slots much like RAID can do for disks.

Curious whether memory controllers can stripe bytes across slots much like RAID can do for disks.
- mmt 8y agoI don't think it's bytewise (just like nobody does RAID3), but, yes, they can and do. The keyword you're looking for is "interleaving". I think it's also not even by DIMM slot but by channel, so if the channels are unevenly populated (e.g. 2 slots filled on one channel but only 1 on another), interleaving is disabled.
