Tech enthusiast finds $12,000 stack of RAM in their garage — work let them keep an old server stuffed with 1,920GB of DDR4

A tech enthusiast discovered a substantial amount of DDR4 RAM in their garage, which they estimated to be worth around $10,000. The OP shared images on Reddit, revealing 30 sticks of DDR4-2666, with some modules being 64GB each. This substantial RAM stack likely came from an old server the Redditor was permitted to retain from their employer.

The reported value of $10K proved close to the actual worth, with the 30 sticks priced at approximately $12,000 on eBay U.S. listings. The OP's $10K valuation wasn't far off, but if the Redditor resides in Australia, the value translates to approximately AU$7,200. However, these Samsung 64GB DDR4 ECC registered DIMMs, commonly used in servers, are incompatible with home PCs, rendering their market value limited.
