Yeah I have no idea the direct cause. I didn't think that the SATA controllers for a hard drive took that much. It could be a secondary effect; SSDs have gotten so expensive that people are willing to put up with spinners and thus there's an increased demand. No idea, I'm sure an economist or something will do a write up of the downstream effects of the RAM crunch causes eventually.
