ASUS kündigt offiziell Preiserhöhungen ab dem 5. Januar, kurz vor der CES 2026, an

For our 6 month future contracts we’re seeing wholesale prices for SSDs that are 2.5x what we paid all the way back in 2022. A 2TB m2 drive for a June contract is showing $350 wholesale now. Up $25 in just the last 2 days. For consumers you can tack more onto that for retail pricing… which means you can expect to pay $400-450 for a 2TB drive later this spring.

It’s going to make things like SteamBox and Game Consoles feel dead in the water because they’re going to take a triple hit between RAM, SSDs and VRAM. 

The irony is this will probably push more people to the “cloud”. Especially small businesses. Which will further drive up consumer prices.

I am not upgrading my laptop for atleast 2 years. Thanks to the AI companies.
