Question What's the difference between these two RAMs?


Looks like theyre the same spec wise, even the same general model, just different production runs with the more expensive one likely being newer. They may have changed some smaller components due to availability, but they should both perform the same.

Cheaper One: ‎CMK32GX4M2D3600C18

I see
Thank you very much!
 
So, the cheaper one will still work, but why is it that the expensive one has "Desktop" under Compatible devices and the cheaper one has much more, that I don't know about?

Cheaper one:
BrandCorsair
Computer memory size32 GB
RAM memory technologyDDR4
Memory speed3600 MHz
Compatible devicesCellphone, Intel 300 Series,Intel 400 Series,Intel X299,AMD 300 Series,AMD 400 Series,AMD X570

Expensive one:
BrandCorsair
Computer memory size32 GB
RAM memory technologyDDR4
Memory speed3600 MHz
Compatible devicesDesktop

Those are all desktop chipsets, its just calling out specific ones for better search results for some people, they both should work just fine with most desktops that use DDR4. OEM desktop boards can be more picky though, so keep that in mind.
 
one is D another is Z
thats models version which denotes platform compatibility and by the look of it, its compatibility is for AMD mainboards, one for 300/400 mainboards, another for x570, for intel no change between both

Z:

D:
