🚀 2026 Market Alert: RAM Prices at Historic Highs
DDR4 memory prices have surged 100-140%+ since early 2024 due to AI infrastructure demand and major manufacturers shifting production to DDR5. Samsung, SK Hynix, and Micron have cut DDR4 output to approximately 20% of 2024 levels. Combined with Windows 10 end-of-life (October 2025) driving massive PC refresh cycles, now is an exceptional time to sell used memory.

How to Identify Your RAM Type
Before selling, you need to accurately identify what type of memory you have. DDR3, DDR4, and DDR5 are physically incompatible and have different values.
Quick RAM Identification Guide
Check the Notch
DDR3: Notch closer to center. DDR4: Notch slightly off-center. DDR5: Different notch position from DDR4.
Count the Pins
DDR3: 240 pins. DDR4 & DDR5: 288 pins (but different keying prevents cross-compatibility).
Read the Label
Look for "DDR3", "DDR4", or "DDR5" on the module sticker. Also note capacity (GB) and speed (MHz).
Check for ECC
Server memory says "ECC", "RDIMM", or "LRDIMM". These command higher prices than standard desktop RAM.
DDR3 vs DDR4 vs DDR5: Technical Comparison
| Specification | DDR3 | DDR4 | DDR5 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pin Count (Desktop) | 240 | 288 | 288 |
| Voltage | 1.5V | 1.2V | 1.1V |
| Speed Range | 800-2133 MHz | 2133-3200+ MHz | 4800-8000+ MHz |
| Max Capacity/Stick | 16GB (typical) | 128GB | 256GB+ |
| Current Market Status | Legacy (declining) | Mainstream (high demand) | Growing adoption |
| Resale Value Trend | Stable/Declining | Surging (+100-140%) | Premium pricing |
Data Security When Selling RAM
A common concern when selling IT equipment is data security. Here's what you need to know about RAM:
RAM is volatile memory—data is lost within seconds to minutes after power is removed. Unlike hard drives or SSDs, RAM modules do not retain data and generally don't require data wiping before sale.
However, enterprise sellers should still maintain proper chain-of-custody documentation for compliance purposes. Reputable ITAD companies provide:
- Chain-of-custody tracking from pickup to processing
- Certificates of recycling or remarketing
- R2v3 certification ensuring responsible handling
- HIPAA-compliant processes for healthcare organizations
- Audit-ready documentation for corporate compliance
Why Enterprises Trust exIT Technologies
Enterprise Memory Liquidation Guide
For IT managers and data center operators handling large-scale memory disposal, working with a certified ITAD company streamlines the process while ensuring compliance.
What to Look for in an ITAD Partner:
- R2v3 Certification: The industry standard for responsible electronics recycling
- Chain-of-custody documentation: Tracks assets from pickup through final disposition

About $2,500 worth or any combination of used IT including used ram, used hard drives HHDs, used SSDs, used processors or CPUs, used memory or ram, used servers, used computers, used networking, or similar used IT equipment you have to liquidate.
If you’re not sure if what you have qualifies, just contact us below to let us know what you have and we’ll be glad to help out!
DDR3 is the past generation of RAM, with DDR4 being the most recent. DDR4 reaches faster clock speeds, is more expensive, operates at lower voltages, has higher latency, and 288 pins to the 240 pins of DDR4.
Standard packing materials is simply not sufficient to protect your IT assets during the shipping process. We are happy to provide shipping materials for your IT assets and shipping insurance free of charge.
A good rule of thumb is to leave no wiggle room for any parts whatsoever. CPU and RAM trays should be taped together, servers should be packed in form fitting polyurethane foam, and GPUs should have custom foam boxes. For more information consult our IT packing instructions page.
When you sell memory inventory to us, the value of your hardware is determined by the following factors:
- Age
- Condition
- Packaging
- Generation
- Density (space in GB)
- DDR3/DDR4 Speed.
By brand, we buy Samsung, SK hynix, Micron, Dell, Corsair, Kingston, G.Skill, and others not listed.
We buy memory made for Cisco, Dell, Fujitsu, HPE, IBM, Lenovo, Supermicro, Quanta, and other systems.
We buy All DIMM types: LRDIMM, RDIMM, SODIMM, and UDIMM.
We buy DDR4-3200, DDR4-2933, DDR4-2666, DDR4-2400, DDR4-2133, DDR3-1866, DDR3-1600, DDR3-1333, and DDR3-1066.
By Capacity, we buy 128GB, 64GB, 32GB, 16GB, 12GB, and 8GB DDR3 and DDR4, though only in bulk.
For windows systems, just right click the windows icon in the bottom left and then task manager. Click “more details”, then the “performance” tab, and then “memory.” You should see the speed, form factor, and types of memory you’ve got.
With servers, you can always simply pull the memory and then look at the model number labeled on the module.
If there is no label, you can use control panel –> system and security –> “view amount of RAM and processor speed” within Windows Server 2016 (should work on 2012 as well) to find the specs on the live system.
We can also just help you determine your hardware’s specs if you send us some pictures.
