Server Pricing Report – January 2022

Welcome to the first installment of our monthly server price reporting for 2022.

If you were following along, last year we’ve been tracking changing parts prices for RAM, SSDs, Hard Drives, and various CPUs. Typically this is done monthly, and then shared on our blog.

Currently, all listed prices are from eBay, for used hardware. I may start tracking more new hardware as well if there is a demand for it.

Prices as of January 3rd, 2022

+ or – indicates if the price has gone up or down since last month

Some noteworthy changes from last month:

• Last month we were unable to track the Price for the New CPU – Xeon Platinum 8160 due to it being out of stock, however this month marks the return of the 8160!
• Additionally, we will continue tracking the price for Xeon Platinum 8168 CPUs this month.
• We were also unable to track the price for the SSD model 1.6TB Intel P3605 NVMe (U.2). They are out of stock this month, but we will check for them again in February!
• There has been a slight rise in prices for many drives including, 1.6TB Intel P3605 NVMe, 3.84TB Samsung PM1633A, and many of the Sata HDD’s that we track.
• Other parts have seen a noticeable fluctuation in price and stock.
• All Types of DDR3 RAM are less available than the prior month, and the prices are raising ever so slightly. Availability is extremely low for 64GB DIMMs, only available in bulk orders at the moment.
• The availability for DDR4 RAM is facing a similar shortage, however the price is lower than it has been for the past few months
• Similarly, all models of E5 v4 CPus are seeing price drops and fewer listings.
