Same vendor, same RAM, different price

[hojkoff]

I'm looking to buy new RAM for my server and have found roughly what I need. There seems to be multiple different options of what seems to be exactly the same ram, but with different SKUs and a variation in the prices.

Can I ask, what is the difference between these three part numbers is for Micron 32GB (1x 32GB) 3200MHz DDR4 RAM, the specification all look to be identical:

MTA36ASF4G72PZ-3G2J3
MTA36ASF4G72PZ-3G2E7

Your asking and linking products that are competitor's to Overclockers which is against the forum rules.

Does it count as a competitor if the product isn't something sold by Overclockers?

they sell other stuff sold by oc, just list the part numbers

Does anyone actually know the answer to the question?

they're probably revisions (or retail / OEM) of the same RAM and price will be determined by purchasing orders / general availabilty.

A lot of the time prices are automatically changed by weird algorythms around the above and you end up with wild numbers.

This above in montymint post.

The timings or CAS latency might be different, but just get the cheaper stuff, it really doesn’t matter

My first thought was that it reflected changes in manufacture, like the memory chips, density or ranks, but the specs on the Micron website did not suggest that. So, I guess it's probably revisions like montymint says. In server memory they tend to indicate even minor changes to the specs and have more part numbers, because there's a higher degree of testing involved, for companies that buy them and higher purchase quantities.
