Posted September 13, 2017 That's just people selling it for way too much Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples: Do this: Quote And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor! Or this: @DocSwag Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market. Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me! I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

Posted September 13, 2017 Old news every one is tired of saying and knowing memory ram is expensive now and it'll keep being expensive as DDR3 went out of production and now smartphones uses DDR4 which become completely mainstream resulting in too much demand vs offering.
