I just checked my go-to stores in Europe. Holy shit. I bought a 5200-speed 16GB DDR5 kit in October for 55 eur. Now it's selling for 240 eur. The 6000-speed model is now 390 eur.

Starting to make Apple's RAM upsell prices look competitive...

I just checked our local apple store website and going from 48gb of ram on a M4 MacBook Pro it's 1500€ to get 128gb. Seems about the same :E

You actually get more, for the 1500€ you don't have to mess with sticks yourself. They solder it directly on your mainboard. If that isn't great service, I don't know what is.

I don’t know why you are getting downvoted. The sarcasm in the comment is pretty obvious.

I'm not sure if it's sarcasm or not, but either way it's just true

July: 172,38 € for a 2x32GB DDR5-6000 kit

Best price for the same one now: 689,55 €

I've been meaning to get more components for a diy NAS since atleast the last year and just been pushing it lazily. I'm literally kicking myself now when I actually started looking up deals for this black friday.

Check used RAM. I've been reading those are still often fine, pricewise

Same here, I was waiting for DDR5 to come down in prices to upgrade from 32 -> 128gb. Could have done it for 200-300€ a few weeks ago, now I'm just sad.

Depending on how many disks you need, buying old PCs on eBay is the way to go because there are still some Xeon E3 ECC models available cheap ($100) with plenty of RAM (16GB) and four SATA ports for a NAS.

The kit I bought last year for €200 is around €800 now. Crazy!

Been watching 2x32GB DDR5-6000 go from €360 to €920 on a local retailer over the last two weeks

They even have one SKU of 2x32GB DDR5-6400 that’s gone to… €4480

I bought a post lease mini PC with 16GB 4 months ago for the todays price of its RAM.
