Greetings all,

A few years back, we purchased two 14-bay Supermicro Chassis with some B9DRi and B10DRi blades. At the time, it was a great way to add high-density computing to our racks. Fast forward a couple of years and it seems the VLP memory is very expensive (and hard to find) for these blades. In fact, I was told by our Supermicro reseller the 32G DIMMs are EOL'd, and the only DIMMs available are 4G, 8G, and 16G. Very disappointing to say the least (not to mention the loads of issues we have had with the CMM modules).

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good place to find reasonably-priced 16G VLP DIMMs (less than $100/ea) for any blade manufacturer. I am willing to bet any standard 16G VLP ECC DIMM will work in these blades, thus I am willing to try non-Supermicro branded RAM.
