LOL. Have you seem the pricing of Mac memory?
- LorenDB 3y agoProbably it's like their storage. LTT determined that Apple storage is worth more than it's weight in gold (at least at the Apple prices).
- fragmede 3y agoperhaps we should change the saying to worth its weight in Apple ram.
- gutnor 3y agoAt Mac Pro pricing (128 GB = $1600) that's $12,800 Of course, I can imagine that there will be a significant discount even just considering the price of high end branded memory outside Apple. Still, Apple has showed no sign of abandoning 8GB for regular people. Even if they switch by the end of the year on their high model, they have a serious handicap in their own installed base.
- FireBeyond 3y ago> Of course, I can imagine that there will be a significant discount even just considering the price of high end branded memory outside Apple. Apple wanted $3,000 for 160GB of memory for my Mac Pro (i.e. going from a base 32 to 192GB). OWC sells the same memory (same spec, same manufacturer) now for $620, though I believe I paid about $1,000. They also wanted another $3,000 for an 8TB SSD. Similarly, I was able to buy a 4xM.2 PCI card, and populate it with 4 x 2TB SSDs for under $1,500. Furthermore my PCI setup is FASTER than the Apple drive (7GBps versus 5.5).
