Review: G.Skill Trident Z Neo 128GB DDR4-3200 (F4-3200C16Q-128GTZN)

Conclusion

The HEDT space continues to grow with the release of new platforms and processors. AMD and Intel now accommodate up to 256GB of DDR4 across quad-channel controllers.

G.Skill is cognisant of this fact and has readied several high-capacity kits to serve the needs of the burgeoning workstation-cum-HEDT crowd. The Trident Z Neo kit looks great, works flawlessly as a four-module, 128GB configuration, and therefore provides enough capacity for users not to be concerned about RAM-intensive workloads.

That said, users looking at this kind of capacity have choices to make; they need to accurately model their workloads to ensure that more than 64GB is being used on a regular basis. Then there's the question of protecting in-memory large-dataset integrity by going down the ECC route. The point is that there are many more questions that need to be answered before opting for memory at this end of the market.

Yet, if capacity is king, G.Skill has you covered, and the Trident Z Neo offers an easy path to get up to 256GB on leading HEDT platforms.

Bottom line: you need to carefully evaluate if a machine really needs 128GB. If so, take this pack for a spin.
