Most other rare earth mines closed up because they couldn't compete with China's price (which was rumored to be HEAVILY subsidized to corner the market) if you increase the price of rare earth minerals 1000%, you will quickly see

Wasn't even that long ago (maybe 4-5 years) that my old company dropped $150k on a couple of fusionIO cards to support and Oracle DB that was 4TB. (I think that was 3 servers total, to get the standby, and the failover in another DC)
