Ask HN: Will RAM / NVMe / Platter Drives ever come back down in price?

  AI boom (probably) can't last forever, so yes.
• segmondy 1mo ago
  yes. the real question is, when?
• brudgers 1mo ago
  Probably not (in the way I imagine you mean). High prices are a moat. That moat can be defended as part of “market-inevitability.” The important customers are institutions with lots of money and institutional scale ambitions…nation states, global corporations, etc. Those customers do not want competition (and the spread of information not under their control).

  Yes, prices are high because demand exceeds supply, but there are no shortages that have not been followed by supply gluts.
