This is a somewhat strange SDRAM module with battery holders (not included in this one) that I found back in my old stuff... I've not found such a module on this forum, if so please tell me, if price is not reasonable please tell also
For sale at 10€ + shipping (or make offer)

| It looks like a cache RAM module for an old RAID controller. I haven't seen this specific type before, but the concept is pretty common. The batteries power the cache memory in case of a power failure, so the hard drives won't lose any writes if the power goes down. As RAID cards will typically come with the cache RAM, and/or work just fine without it, I can't see what the market for your RAM card is. Whenever I get this sort of thing I just add it to my RAM pile for scrapping. Best of luck. |
