Exceptional deal for those looking for ECC SODIMMs which are kind of niche, Crucial currently has them for $104. I use an Innodisk model (the chips looks identical to the ones on this) in my Precision 3240 Compact workstations that have Xeons and can make use of ECC. Sometimes these work on non-ECC machines and sometimes they don't, I haven't tested extensively enough across different models.

Virtium DDR4 32GB ECC SODIMM VL41A4G66A-N6SB-S1 $50/ea or $40/ea for 4 or more: Virtium DDR4 32GB ECC SODIMM VL41A4G66A-N6SB-S1 ***NEW*** | eBay

Edit: seller dropped price to $40/ea or $36/ea for 4 or more.

Edit2: I was going to mark this as expired since it sold out but then the seller reposted and has a bunch more. Read the full thread before purchase as some people had issues with compatibility. Virtium DDR4 32GB ECC SODIMM VL41A4G66A-N6SB-S1 ***NEW*** | eBay

UDIMM is UDIMM. If the rest doesn't support ECC, the DIMM will work like non-ECC DIMM. Always
This is correct, I have 2x8GB DDR3 ECC DIMMs in my parents their ThinkCentre and they work just fine, just without ECC.

hell yes cheap ECC SODIMMs for my P51, $30 each for 4 was autodeclined, $35 was accepted.
Appreciate the tip! I need 4 myself for a couple projects they've been on hold till I could find suitable RAM for a not-ludicrous price, and now it looks like they're back in play!

For laptops at least, the Xeon workstation laptops (lenovo made/makes em, not sure who else though) if looking for ECC, but otherwise anything that takes SODIMM (long as working without ECC is acceptable)

Has anyone used those with Dimm-to-sodimm adapters? Price is really good for an unbuffered DDR4 module from this density. A full size module is easily $80+

Order 4x sodimm on Sep 16, 2024
Febex just left my house now, that is quick shipping.

running memtest using a HP 800 G4 mini .
After testing , will move the sodimm to HP 800 G6 mini for deployment.

Are you looking for desktop ECC UDIMM?
If not, there are plenty desktop 32GB non-ecc UDIMM price between $30 to $40 each on Ebay.
The desktop ECC UDIMM pricing is a b***ch. RDIMM are cheap.
I looked at my purchase history from amazon, a 16GB DDR4 ECC Udimm I bought about a year ago was $35. Now same product is up to $49.

Just wondering, will these work in t740 that doesn't support ECC?
Alas, these did not work in the HP T740. The machine wouldn't POST and the power button flashed/beeped 3-reds / 2-whites before falling silent. On the other hand, it worked in a HP EliteDesk 800 G4

That's disappointing. I ordered a pair for my T740.
