If you were following along, last year we’ve been tracking changing parts prices for RAM, SSDs, Hard Drives, CPUs, and a couple of GPUs. Typically this is done monthly, and then shared on our blog.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

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.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Prices as of <\/em>25th May, 2021<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Some noteworthy changes from last month:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

  • The entire IT world has gone Crypto-Crazy, something that is definitely being reflected in price and availability of parts on the second hand market.<\/li>
  • The price of drives is up across the board, in some cases with well over 100% increases.<\/li>
  • The current craziness is also affecting availability, especially among the larger sized drives, with limited listings on many items and some items being completely unavailable.<\/li>
  • NVMe, CPU’s and RAM have also increased dramatically in price and decreased in availability.<\/li>
  • Even though we don’t track them, I decided to check out a few of the popular graphics cards right now. The results could best be summed up with “LOL!”<\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    Definition of terms \/ fine print: <\/strong>\ufeff<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

    • Price Low — The lowest price to buy this part from a reputable seller in a moderate quantity, price as shipped to the US <\/li>
    • Price High — There is a reasonably large quantity of this part available from multiple reputable sellers for this price or lower, price as shipped to the US <\/li>
    • Price for the lowest priced drive of this size, matching this model number or better in the same class. “Same class” would mean sata (S) or nvme (P), as applicable. “Better” means a higher model number than listed. Ranked from worst to best, Intel model numbers are 3500, 3510, 3600, 3610, 3700, 3710 <\/li><\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
