- Forgeties79 7mo agoThese prices are insane. I can’t believe that’s what constitutes a good deal right now.
- Forgeties79 7mo agoFor context, I spent $105 USD (all in) for 2x16gb DDR5 ram last April
- WarOnPrivacy 7mo ago2x48GB DDR5 for $285 last March. Turns out I got the wrong kit for that build and had to buy another. It was too late to return it.
- Forgeties79 7mo agoBrutal
- blackoil 7mo agoIf you still have that wrong kit, now it's the time to sell it to make a fortune.
- WarOnPrivacy 7mo agoI thought about it but in Sept I decided my HV server needed better hardware.
- walterbell 7mo agoLook at pricing for hard drives, SSDs and even USB flash drives.
- joshstrange 7mo agoThis. I just had to replace a failing NVME m.2 stick, 2TB, that I bought 4 years ago. It was over $100 more than when I bought it. It was painful.
- Forgeties79 7mo agoOh don’t worry I know. If I can pat myself on the back a bit, I was super vindicated at work last week when someone shared a WD drive shortage article - I had pushed us to grab 7x 14TB refurbished enterprise drives in December (6 bay raid, 7th is a spare). The 12TB seagate EXOS currently cost $110 more than we paid for those 14’s.
