What is the most expensive type of memory per MB you can find?

Answer 1

Due to the recent floods in Taiwan, home to many of the world's largest Hard drive manufacturers. The simple HD is now becoming increasingly rare and expensive. A 1TB ( terrabyte = 1,000GB ) Western Caviar 7,200 RPM 6Gb/s HD costed about $99 less than a year ago. The current price? $249.99

Another expensive form of storage would be an SSD ( solid state drives ). They function the same as a mcechanical HD, except they have no moving parts and their acess times are approx 20 times faster than that of a mechanical HD. That being said they are also quite expensive, ( these drives were not effected by the flood ) with prices currently arround $2/GB.

Answer 2

Well, if you mean RAM it's probably something like Corsair's high performance stuff, complete with pretty little heatsinks - other companies sell similar products but they're all around the same price. Unless you're overclocking, there's not a lot of point in buying it really...

If you mean storage memory, then the answer is simple: Solid State Drives (SSDs). These are essentially a lot of RAM that can hold the information it's given even when the power is turned off (ordinary RAM cannot). The reason they are expensive is basically because RAM is expensive - not when you're buying 1Gb sticks, but when you need 256Gb of the stuff, the costs do mount up.

Answer 3

I would say that the L1 (level one) cache used on the processor is the most expensive type of memory. Wikipedia has a fair share of information on the topic although.
