SSDs now cost 16x more than HDDs due to AI supply chain crisis
- rekabis 10mo agoOh, ggoooooodddd I got f**king lucky. 4×4Tb Samsung 990 Pro for a RAID-10 array, $399.97 CAD each on Amazon this last fall. It now looks to be out of stock at almost $800 CAD apiece. And I wouldn’t doubt that it’ll double again before summer. Nuts. Absolute insanity. Can’t wait for this bubble to pop.
- rbanffy 10mo agoThere might be some extra manufacturing capacity to be brought online to match the demand, but, in their place, I'd also be very happy to fulfil those orders at the new price point. OTOH, in a few months, as the AI buildouts taper, I'd assume prices will drop.
