32GB DDR4 2666 ECC RDIMMs - $22

[bvd]

I sent an offer for 4 at $22 each, comes out to $0.69/GB for 32GB RDIMMs, seemed like a pretty dang good deal to me! Anyone with anything from Broadwell (2400) up to Skylake (2666), I've not seen a better deal of late myself at least.

They're marked as Cisco OEM - usually Micron, though they used to primarily be Samsung (personally, I don't think it really matters, but for anyone that does at least )

I've been paying $0.60 to $0.625/GB for 2666 lately (but that has taken some patience). Wonder what others are paying on average?

I wasn't patient, paid 90 cents/GB for 32GB Micron 2666 RDIMMs.

I've also seen it go for closer to $0.50/GB in the time since I bought, so it seems like with enough patience, prices are coming down quickly (I sort of wished I waited a bit more) - it would be neat to track this kind of stuff in a Google sheet to see what the lowest prices people were getting were and how the trends were going over time.

Most of the (slightly) cheaper stuff I saw was Hynix, and I have seen several reports that those modules have programmed timings that they're just barely able to achieve, so I paid a bit extra for Micron, but I didn't look too hard for rebranded Micron parts.

I'm guessing it'll follow sort of the same cycle as DDR3 - it bottomed out around $0.50/GB for 32GB sticks as well, best as I recall at least. Sure, you could occasionally find a super-sale, but the best I regularly found was about there I think, if I'm remembering right?

I recently paid $0.03/GB for 800GB of DDR3...

With Hynix better to get CJR, which are kind of the "poor mans Samsung B-dies". I'm be able to overclock it (HMA84GR7CJR4N-VK) to 3200Mhz on EPYC platform.

I totally wasnt clear there - I more meant "before it hit ewaste level pricing" (where no one wants to buy it regularly any longer). Basically I think there's a curve it mostly is going to follow, but certainly it'll eventually fall off a cliff once there's no more demand for it.

looking for some DDR3/ LRDIMM, please post if you find any deal.

With Hynix better to get CJR, which are kind of the "poor mans Samsung B-dies" --- do you have model# for both Samsung and hynix that you are referring to, for DDR3?

To be fair, unless those are 2-4GB dimms, that's still a good deal

 

[chrgrose]

Sure you can do better, but $0.69/GB is still a good deal for 32GB 2666 modules.

32GB LRDIMM

 

[Layla]

Sure you can do better, but $0.69/GB is still a good deal for 32GB 2666 modules.

At this point, I wouldn't pay more than $0.50/GB for 32GB, and $0.625/GB for 64GB LRDIMMs for 2666 (and I wish I'd been a bit more patient myself). 2933 and even 3200 are starting to fall into range quickly... The 2666 market prices are higher than these prices, but I think this will be market in 6mo or so? But again, just my current intuition - would love to know what others are paying, which is why a Google Sheet might be a neat idea for us as a community.

The question is where (and how reliably) you can source memory at those prices. If you are patient enough I'm sure you can get that low. I just bought 72x64GB 2400T dimms at $0.45/GB and recently bought a pallet of 64 cisco M4s with 1024x16GB 2133P dimms at $0.25/GB (minus whatever the blades+cpus are worth), but I would consider those rare or bulk deals. Also, 2666 prices are buffered by the fact that xeon scalable hardware is still way more expensive than E5/E7 gen stuff.

Oh, that was you who won that auction? Congratulations on the catch!

My thinking is that if the community knew how good some of the deals could be, more people might be a bit more patient, which could also contribute to prices coming down further.
