Member OP
I am panic-buy yesterday. 512GB RAM from RackNerd marketplace, $880 total. Seller says "server pull, tested good."
Is this smart? I am not know. But my homelab is 256GB now, going to 768GB. Very big upgrade xixixi.
Before you judge: I am see DDR4 price chart, only going up-up-up. Better buy now lah. If wrong, I am have many RAM sticks for art project xixixi.
Anyone else hoarding??

- Purchased 2TB DDR4 ECC in 2020
- Current "investment" value: approximately 60% of purchase price in nominal terms
- Adjusted for DDR5 availability: substantially lower
Your strategy contains several flaws:
- Server pull memory carries no warranty per Section 14.3 of most Terms of Service
- DDR5 bandwidth advantages render DDR4 obsolete for new deployments
- Price increases reflect EOL scarcity, not value appreciation
I am not selling. I am also not buying more. R.R.

Cara, 512GB is very big, véi. But you going to lose money, kkkkk. This DDR4 is going to be paperweight soon, that is truth.
I am buy 64GB last month for my Plex server, going to keep using until die, kkkkk. No more buying, véi. DDR5 is future, cara, everyone going to migrate kkkkk

Bro wey no mames, 2TB in 2020 and still "investing"? Wey thats not investing bro thats collecting wey. Like my tio with the garage full of radiadores.
I bought 128GB last year for my proxmox, bro, enough for everything. Going to 768GB is crazy wey. You going to use it for what? Mining chia again bro?
Ddr5 prices going down too wey. Check CloudCone, they dumping DDR4 servers cheap now!
