Match Memory - What the OEM Server Manufacturers don't want you to know
What does match memory mean?
Match memory is essentially unbranded server memory that remains compatible with branded machines already equipped with branded memory. What the major server players like Dell, HP, or Cisco might not openly disclose is that they procure the same memory modules we provide. However, they take an extra step by affixing their original stickers to the memory, inflating the price to what they charge. In reality, this memory is practically identical to what you'd acquire directly from us.
Opting for match memory doesn't jeopardize your existing warranty with server manufacturers. Fortunately, many countries, including the United States, have enacted laws like the Magnus-Moss Warranty Act, safeguarding consumers utilizing match memory in their servers. Therefore, HP, for instance, cannot void your warranty for employing match memory, even though the memory itself isn't covered by them but by the entity you purchase it from—like us, with a generous 2-year warranty!
The primary deterrent to adopting match memory is misinformation. There's a prevalent misconception that it might not sync with one's machines, potentially void warranties, or hinder access to support. However, all these concerns are unfounded.
