Hello guys, can you tell me if these 2 rams are compatible?

Samsung M378A5244CB0-CRC
https://www.pcbem.pt/loja/ddr4/4096mb-ddr4-2400mhz-cl16-red-dimm-team-group-elite-plus/

I currently have the Samsung M378A5244CB0-CRC, will the second RAM be compatible?
CAS latency, DIMM/UDIMM, etc.

Unfortunately, even 'identical' (brand, speed, timings, CL etc) modules may not 'play nice' with each other.
That's why DIMMs are sold as "kits", packaged together and tested from the factory to work together as intended.

They're as close as you're going to get though, and chances are pretty good they'll work together fine - BUT, there's a slight chance they may not (a voltage bump may be needed).

RAM compatibility is never guaranteed, even when combining 2 sets of 2x2 kits from the same manufacturer. The only way to know is to test it. Since these are different sticks with different cas timings, you'll either need to turn on Flex Mode (allowing them to run at different timings), or relax the timings to a point where they are all happy. It's probably going to take some tweaking.
