Question 1

Why DDR4 RAM is so expensive?

Accepted Answer

DDR4 RAM is expensive because most manufacturers have shifted production to DDR5, reducing DDR4 supply, while securing limited DDR4 allocations mainly for servers and enterprise systems instead of desktop PCs; combined with ongoing demand, past production cuts, and distributor markups, this keeps prices high.

Question 2

Can I use this one on Dell R730xd server?

Accepted Answer

I have this in an R630 and works great! I plan on putting some into an R730xd soon, too.

Question 3

Is this an ECC (Error Correcting Code) memory stick?

Accepted Answer

Hi there, yes, this is ECC.  It's also LRDIMM (Load Reduced), so it's even better than regular RDIMM.  This is very good RAM.
