For buisness reasons I live close to China and I found taobao RAMs much cheaper than eBay.

Anyone had any experience buying RAM from Taobao?

I bought things from Taobao motherboards, PC water cooling components, camera modules, picoPSU, etc.. but never RAM or CPUs. There's a high chance of fakes and Intel has a specific Xeon C version for the Chinese market and I don't know what the specific differences are so I've never bought it.

You must talk to the seller first before placing an order. The picture and the description don't match so thats a red flag. You need to confirm the specs and everything and only then can you get Taobao protection I've never tried to use it, you may have to call in for that and if you don' speak Mandarin or have a friend who does, you're screwed.

If you are in China shipping is pretty fast, if your outside - you'll have to use their consolidated shipping services or a third party shipper.

Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Yeah, sounds like another Chinese faker. The fakers make a lot of money off of the copycat market.

Not necessary made by micron. Could be assembled by a random factory off the road.
