In lack of a small ram deals thread - Hynix 128GB PC4-2666V DDR4 RAM ECC LRDIMM 2S4R - HMABAGL7M4R4N-VN
128gb ddr4 dimm at 147€, what is the odds of that actually getting shipped?
Looks like its accidently listed with same price as their 8gb dimms.

Looks like they realised it after not very long and changed price again.

Anyone know if these are bootable !?
They are not, and require out-of-tree drivers for Linux, but they generally do still work.763838-B21 HPE 3.2TB READ INTENSIVE-2 HH/HL PCIE WORKLOAD ACCELERATOR 764127-001 | eBay

Edit: also they're PCIe 2.0.
Welp, i was thinking in using it as a games folder drive in Windows.
But i had a lot of iodrives dying on me in the past, guess i will pass.
Thanks for answering.
They may work in Windows, I didn't mean to say it was only usable on Linux, there's a big thread on here that might have that information.
That's a relative term, the write lifetime of any Fusion IO is still absurdly long, performance is still pretty solid, and I believe you can manually set the usable capacity to 2.6TB to get the same effect as buying the write intensive version.
In enterprise SSD parlance, read intensive is often 1DWPD, mixed use is 3DWPD and write intensive is like north of 10DWPD. Even 1DWPD is a massive amount of write for any normal usage.
They all use the same NAND, you can easily write 32PB to the 3.2 and double that to the 6.4TB model no problem... that's just the warrantied wear life as well, it will go much longer.
You can do 7-10 DWPD on all the cards just fine in most cases. It really comes down to your app any any write amplification. Even then, you're likely fine.
That's just marketing. They were pre-provisioned with less unused space for higher capacity, which can put more pressure on the groomer under heavy write workloads and will reduce performance. That provisioning line is fully user adjustable though and you can set it to whatever you want. There's no difference in the physical product.
Tell me more... I haven't actually seen one die on its own in my years of working for Fusion-io or even maintaining the cards to this date in my home lab.

Yep, before the COVID i had two Fusion io cards, one with 3.2tb and other with less (2tb i believe ?!) and both "died" (actually zombified)
The 3.2tb started reporting as 1tb, then 500 mb and then 1gb.
The 2tb simply disappeared from the pc, simply died.
Both pcie, both with large capacitors.
They both ran hot and IIRC heat probably killed them.
Yep, didnt had much choice back then, here in Brazil 40° is the NORM, so everything ends dying to heat.
Computers are comfortable with much warmer temperatures than humans are. If you have sufficient heat transfer between the card and the ambient air, the card will be quite happy at 40C. But not at 90C. Different components also have different temp specs.
