DDR3 DDR4 RAM price trends thread.

[fossxplorer]

It's like you posted what i've had in my mind. When i read last night the links posted here about the power outage at Toshiba/WD plants, i got the same toughts in my mind that the prices have been declining due to higher production/supply. And that this is very very suspicious event indeed.

Samsung pulled a stunt like that last year didn't they? This is almost becoming standard practice by this industry to reduce production. I've never lived in S. Korea, so I can't say how common power outages are there, but having lived in Japan for over a decade, I have a hard time believing they suffered reliability issues, and that they didn't have some backup power mechanism that kicked in if they really did lose power.

I don't have any "special" knowledge here, so I'm speculating, but these type of events are just sounding very suspicious to me now... and they seem to happen when supplies are high and prices are dropping...

Just saw a huge amount of lots of 4 x M386B4G70DM0-YK04 ($170 or obo) go this morning in about 3 hours.

Talk about a feeding frenzy.

Isn’t there already a price cartel investigation running against the biggest manufacturers?

Just picked up 16 2133mhz 16gb ddr4 ecc modules for 32€ each, looks like I bought in the right time

I think it can:

Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.50 GHz) Product Specifications

Regarding:
Intel® Core™ i7-6700HQ Processor (6M Cache, up to 3.50 GHz) Product Specifications

Max Memory Size (dependent on memory type) 64 GB - this is not size per DIMM, but total supported memory size

Seeing pricing for new modules:

Samsung DDR4-3200 32GB/4Gx72 ECC/REG Server Memory ~ $160
Crucial DDR4-3200 32GB/4Gx72 ECC/REG Server Memory ~ $130

Yeah, the OP was saying he was hoping that skylake could've used 32gb sodimms. And i think it can.

Any updates on pricing lately?

Seems prices have gone up on ebay since the last time I checked a few months ago.

 

[i386]

Prices (for new ram) went up since the corona/vocid-19 outbreak in china, but it seems that the prices stabilize now.

Used DDR3 seems to have gone up, about six months ago I bought two sticks of Samsung 16 gb DDR3 -14900 ECC ram and it was about $50.00 for the pair, now on ebay its about $80.00 for the same two sticks.

 

[Samir]

Sad to hear about RAM going up. I saw ddr3 as low as 43 cents/gb on ebay just a month ago.

 

[Fritz]

Just bought 2 sticks of 32GB DDR4 ECC LRDIMM @ $85 each.

 

[itronin]

Yes Definitely going up.

I purchased a total of 32 sticks of 32GB DDR4 ECC from 3 vendors at an average of $72/stick back in late December.
For someone else I purchased some DDR3 14900 ECC LR 16GB sticks and the prices were all sub $20/stick. IIRC 32GB was sub $50.00
The magical 8GB DDR3 1600mhz unbuffered ECC was also sub $20/stick.

I paid £480 for 8 x 32gb DDR4 2666 ECC RDIMMs. Well below market rates. Prices are generally going up across a number of tech areas, my theory is that this is going to be an upwards trend for the next few months easily, possibly even going into 2021 before we see any reasonably noticeable price drops. Though some products which have been heavily inflated on price will rapidly come down across the next few months. We're effectively entering a worse economic mess than the crash of 08, nothing is for certain, however, memory prices did rise quite rapidly back then too, the pattern is most definitely repeating.
