Overview
- The Reddit user posted images Tuesday showing about 30 memory sticks labeled as Samsung 64GB DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs, which would total roughly 1,920GB if every stick matches the labels.
- The poster said the modules came from an old work server that their employer let them keep after decommissioning, according to follow-up comments cited by multiple outlets.
- Market checks by reporters put the stack’s resale value at about US$350–$425 per 64GB stick, which yields an estimated total near US$12,000 while the original post quoted roughly AU$10,000.
- Registered ECC RDIMMs differ electrically and in some physical ways from consumer UDIMMs, so they are generally incompatible with typical desktop motherboards and are best sold or reused in servers and high-end workstations.
- Coverage is based on the posted photos and self-reporting; there has been no independent inventory audit or confirmed sale, and commentators warned against sharing precise locations when showing valuable hardware.
