Data and sources
NASSRAM is a parody of a stock terminal. The framing — memory as a world currency, hardware as listed assets — is a joke. The measurements underneath it are real, sourced daily, and published here so they can be checked rather than taken on trust.
Nothing on this site is a price quote, an offer, or investment advice. A gigabyte cannot be bought, sold or exchanged here.
Files
Refreshed by an automated job each evening and rebuilt with the site. Data as of 2026-09-22; the archive reaches back to 2014-09-01.
- latest.json Today's dollars per gigabyte for DDR5 and DDR4, dollars per terabyte for NVMe, the GPU premium over MSRP, the pre-crisis baseline beside each, and the current exchange-rate table.
- fx.json Exchange rates against the dollar: the latest table, the pre-crisis baseline, and a daily window covering the same span as the daily price data.
- fx-history.json Monthly mean rates against the dollar since 2014, with the adjustments applied to the raw series recorded beside them.
- gpu.json Graphics card street prices against launch MSRP: the index series and the current card table.
- btc.json Bitcoin against the dollar, monthly since 2010 and daily over the recent window.
- devices.json Announced launch prices for the hardware this site prices in gigabytes, each quoted from its own announcement with a link.
Every file carries a meta block naming its source, its licence and the date of the data,
so attribution survives being copied.
What the figures mean
- DDR5, DDR4 — median retail US dollars per gigabyte of desktop memory.
- NAND — median retail US dollars per terabyte of consumer NVMe storage.
- GDDR — graphics card street price as a percentage over launch MSRP.
- Exchange rates — units of a currency per one US dollar, on the date given. Historical sums on this site are converted at the rate for their own date, never at today's.
Sources and terms
- RAMList RAM & SSD Price Index Free to use with credit, granted on their index page FAQ. Their terms separately forbid re-publishing the series as a file, so this site serves today's value and not the archive.
- VideoCardPrices GPU Price Index CC BY 4.0. Published here in full, series and card table.
- European Central Bank reference rates Reuse permitted with source acknowledgement. Rebased from the euro to the dollar per date, not at today's rate.
- Bank of Russia Official published rates, cited with attribution. The rouble against the dollar, published here as monthly means since 2014 and daily values over the recent window.
- National Bank of Ukraine Open data, free reuse with attribution. The hryvnia against the dollar, published here as monthly means since 2014 and daily values over the recent window.
- National Bank of the Republic of Belarus Open API, free reuse with attribution. The Belarusian rouble against the dollar, published here as monthly means since 2014 and daily values over the recent window. Divided by 10000 before 1 July 2016 to carry the redenomination of that date; the factor is in fx-history.json under seams.
- Stanford Data on AI & Memory; John C. McCallum; Keepa Cited with attribution. The deep DRAM archive, spliced onto the RAMList basket — and so not served as a file either.
- Capital & Compute, republishing DropReference; RamRadar; cheapestssd.com Capital & Compute under CC BY 4.0; the others cited with attribution. The pre-crisis baselines of October 2025 that latest.json quotes beside each current value. The source behind each figure is listed in the footer of the terminal.
- blockchain.info market price Public chart data, cited with attribution. Published here in full.
What is deliberately not here
The daily memory and storage series, and the deep DRAM archive spliced onto it, are not served as files. The upstream index grants free use with credit but separately forbids re-publishing its data at scale, and a decade of daily points in a downloadable file is that. Today's value is published because this site already prints it in the open.
