I'm Malcolm Konner. I built MemRadar and I run it on my own: the price pipeline, the site, the writing, all of it. There is no team behind this and no company funding it.

It started with a build. I was upgrading memory in the middle of the 2025 to 2026 price surge, the steepest the market has seen in a decade, and I could not answer a simple question about the kit in front of me: was this a fair price in a bad market, or just a bad price? The retailer told me it was discounted. It told me that about almost everything. Those badges are computed off a baseline that had already been climbing for months, so a percentage off the "was" price said nothing about whether I should buy. I wanted the actual history, and I could not find it anywhere I trusted.

So I built the thing I wanted. MemRadar tracks retail prices for 235 RAM and SSD products and keeps the full history, some of it running back to 2015. Every product page shows what a part has actually cost over time, where it sits against its own all-time low, and what it costs per gigabyte next to the median for its segment. The Memory Price Index aggregates that into median price changes per segment, recomputed daily. Amazon price history is licensed from Keepa, Newegg pricing comes from an official Rakuten Advertising feed, and prices refresh every few hours. How MemRadar tracks prices sets out the collection, the calculations, and what the data cannot tell you, and there is a data page for anyone citing the figures.

Nothing here is a review score or an opinion dressed up as data. If the recorded history does not support a claim, the page does not make it.

On money: the Newegg links are affiliate links, so if you buy through one I may earn a small commission. Amazon links are not affiliate links. The standing rule, and the reason I am stating it up here rather than burying it, is that commissions never influence prices, rankings, or verdicts. Prices come from the pipeline. Rankings come from the data. When a page says a part is badly priced right now, it says so whether or not I would earn anything on that click, and the products I earn nothing on are ranked exactly the same way. The full affiliate disclosure spells out the programs involved.

MemRadar is early and still being built. If a figure looks wrong, or something is missing that you would actually use, tell me: hello@memradar.com. I read everything, and feedback from people buying real parts is what decides what gets built next.
