48GB Memory Kit 12 x 4GB DDR3 10600R for Dell PowerEdge C6100 C6220 XS23-TY3 -$120

[Boddy]

I spotted this deal on Ebay $119.99 or OBO

48GB Memory Kit 12 x 4GB DDR3 10600R for Dell PowerEdge C6100 C6220 XS23 TY3 | eBay

Only 4Gb dims and seller specifies dims may vary, but for $2 a Gb it sounds like an increadible deal?
(I sent email to seller asking if I bought one or two kits if they would be from same manufacturer.)

What do you think?

 

[T_Minus]

That's the max I'd pay for 4GB stick BUt, still a deal

 

[NetWise]

You can find lower than that? I have half a C6100 I'd like to fill up cheap. This would do it if I can't find better...

 

[T_Minus]

Yes. I've gotten over 100 sticks 6.5 to 7.5 so 10 is a big jump in terms of %, but for 8-16 it's not a lot of money.

Keep an eye on ebay like a hawk Also you probably need to buy 20+ at a time to get that price but some sellers I 've got 2-8 at that price with BIN.

 

[NetWise]

I don't think I can move 100 sticks . Good to know

 

[Diavuno]

offered 150 for 2 sets... I'd pay $6.25 per

 

[T_Minus]

Remember they're mixed too.

 

[Diavuno]

all their ads say mixed...

TBH I'm not too concerned. I want one kit for my home and one to upgrade my guys test lab. both my primary boxes already have matched sets. (Dell sticks in HP servers )

 

[T_Minus]

yep

and I guess if i was buying 24 sticks I'd want to know if it was all ECC or mixed eCC and non-ECC, is it all really slow or half really slow and half really fast...

The prices I mentioned were all matched/exact same model # RAM.

The deal isn't that "hot" if you get a bag of ram that doesn't work together as you're planning or it has ecc and non-ecc in the same "mix".

Let us know what you get Fingers crossed.

 

[Diavuno]

seller came back with 6.90 a stick.

 

[Diavuno]

I'm debating...

 

[T_Minus]

Why not just message and ask what the "mix" includes?

Not $6 for DDR3 UDIMM is bad !! LOL!!

 

[NetWise]

May I ask where the 'mixed' is coming from? I see 'manufacturer: may vary'. Am I missing something? 10600R also suggests not UDIMM?

I've bought from this seller before, had good experiences....

 

[T_Minus]

@NetWise - Their info, to me, is not consistent to feel comfortable buying w/out asking them questions first.

I'd just message and ask what it means to "vary manufacturer" and if it's registered, ecc, etc...


I didn't mean to argue against the deal, it is one,... once you know what exactly you'll be getting

 

[Boddy]

Response from seller:

My question to seller:
'Hi, your description states manufacturer may vary.
If I purchased 2, one or two kits, would they all be from same manufacturer?'

Sellers response:
'As long as you specify that in your purchase we will do it. Otherwise each kit will match but the kits may be different.'

NB. I did not think to specify if all ram will be EEC or mixed EEC or non-EEC.

FYI

 

[T_Minus]

That's great that they will do that!!!

 

[Boddy]

I've asked seller to confirm whether they are registered and ECC and will await their reply.
Cheers

 

[NetWise]

I understood that each kit would be the same but if you bought another they might be a slightly different kit. Also can't see any reason why some would be ECC and some not.

Always good to verify but I read it significantly less negatively .

 

[T_Minus]

judging by their other lots i'm sure they can make a match of 24 sticks, lol... some of their lots are 300+ sticks

Just gotta be sure, lol

Additional data point: I offered $40 (+shipping) for a set of 6x4GB rdimms listed at $60. Surprisingly, it was accepted right off the bat.
