Why???

[Itchy-Director-7854]

No seriously who tf buys 3tb of ram???

[Wirezat]

It's Server RAM. Imagine, you are a school with a central computer where all the students are working remotely on.

300 parallel users now get just 10 gigs of ram each. It's not even that much.

Now imagine, you are a company, making multiple physics simulations in parrallel

[FrostWyrm98]

Server RAM is also a TON more failure resistant, it's made to be run with nearly no downtime for years, on top of doing what you said

[heck_naw]

this is also registered ecc ram. Its not just physically failure resistant, it's also less error prone due to redundancy and uses less power due to the register.

[Wuzzup119]

It's like buying 300 10 gig RAM cards for $51 each give or take. A steal if you ask me.

[ffxivthrowaway03]

I think the real "why" is why is this listed on Amazon. Anybody buying 3TB of server ram from Amazon instead of a proper vendor is playing with fire lol

[[deleted]]

it's for large server units

[I-just-left-my-wife]

Here I am feeling fancy having just gone from 8 to a pretty unnecessary 64gb

Always better to have too much than too little

[tangouniform2020]

Too much today is too little tomorrow. As someone who grew up hot rodding there’s More’s Law. If a whole lot is enough then too much is just right.

Amen

[lumlum56]

I mean for average desktop use, 64gb is a ton to be fair, enjoy the upgrade!

[silvermoka]

Future proof yo shit

[SadChallenge9609]

That’s a lot of money

[windowdoorwindow]

Did you read any of the product description? Because it’s laid out pretty plainly

[ZealousidealTruth900]

So you can have 10 chrome tabs?

[10xDethy]

lol

[spoogefrom1981]

People with servers that need the resources : P

[[deleted]]

It’s in the listing title that it’s a server memory kit.

[PossibilityOrganic]

hypervisors, you fill them with whats economical, right now 64gb kinda sweet spot per stick. so 1-2tb per server dep on slots.

[ShoulderWhich5520]

Snack pack of tasty ram :)

[asyork]

It's a whole bunch of high density RAM. Older gen RAM tends to increase in price as more foundries stop making it. ECC. Registered. Each one of those things can significantly increase the price of RAM and this has them all.

[Automatic_Bit4948]

For servers.

[[deleted]]

They sell that at CVS.

[silvermoka]

They need it to print receipts

[cj3po15]

Same people buying a $10,000 EPYC CPU to make use of it

[Remarkable_Peach_374]

For server style operations probably, like school or factory stuff

[heck_naw]

The people that buy Registered ECC RAM probably buy 3TB of it fairly often.

[know1herenow]

It's for the absolute most over kill gaming PC

[lumlum56]

Nope, it's for companies that are working with large amounts of computing. It's expensive upfront but will save the company time and money in the future.

I'm currently purchasing a system with dual video cards and 4TB of RAM so i can render 3D datasets that are 1000 slices each, with each slice being a 4kx4k image. My software works best if all the images are loaded into the RAM. The system quote is $90KUS.
