Thanks Obama!
Even the price of HDDs have increased too.
AI is the clear definition of unsustainable
HDDs are up 40%+ recently too.
Soooo glad i got my two 8TB m.2’s when i did, one was 560… 2 months later the exact same model was 800, less than a week… after i bout the 2nd one, Best Buy hiked it up to 1,980
Uh, fuck everything, but mostly ai. This sucks
So it sounds like everything will be super cheap in ~2 years, either when supply ramps up or AI crashes out.
Gamers are cooked
We my 10 year old pc dies, I am going to just start reading more I guess

a repost lol
It’s going to have an insane crash price in a few years.
The 8TB SSD that I bought six months ago for $450 is now $900. The 22TB HDD that I got on Black Friday sale for $230 is only back to its normal price of $300. To match the storage capacity, that’s „only“ 8x the price.
Maybe I should get another archival drive before a HDD crunch sets in…
When AI flops, we should get some killer VR out of these massive data centers
I have mostly parked the idea of running cost effective inference locally anytime soon.
God i can’t wait for this bubble to burst. Mama needs a new computer already!
Back to platters I guess.
Demand up, build more stuff. Economic activity is actually good.
It’s like they’re actively trying to hand the global computer market to china within a month of china’s first homegrown euv equipment reaching demo scale.
It’s time for some Butlerian jihad.
Dell’s ad for a new laptop on this post is a bit tone deaf.
This doesn’t mean that HDDs haven’t gone up too. I bought four 12TB Red pros in July for $220 a piece, they’re $300 now.
Next there will be a big surge in tape, using disk as backup storage becomes more expensive.
While computer prices have certainly risen over the past year, that occurred after the tariffs. I haven’t seen any changes in the last few weeks, but the hikes from tariffs weren’t nothing. Machines with SSDs selling for just under $500 before the tariffs now retail for about $650.
So much winning 🤣
