>The same 1 TB TLC chip that cost $4.80 in July of this year now costs $10.70. That might not seem like a big jump in a vacuum, but the ripple effect carries huge consequences when scaled up.

>The end-consumer looking to build their next PC is who pays for this added cost.

Enterprise have infinite money pits from AI investment they don't care how much it costs. They are literally building DCs they cannot even power.

thank god I just got a 4 TB SSD recently I remember the last time memory prices skyrocketed, had to hold of on upgrading for a long while.

>>107164420 (OP)
>have 6 different 2tb ssd's in my PC
I think I'm good. Though i have 2 sata slots still left, which sucks I can't put more SSD's into those. Well I guess I can wait until prices normalize.

>>107164527
>normalize
It's only going to get higher.

>>107164420 (OP)
uh oh, I just went to MIcrocenter and all the 1TB SDDs were gone.

I just got a 990 Pro from Amazon last month for the Prime Day sale, I was having second thoughts and considering holding off at least until the next sale at the earliest, but I'm really glad I went and got it.

>>107164420 (OP)
I recently ordered 2x4TB of the good stuff.

>AI causing NAND prices to skyrocket
>AI causing RAM prices to skyrocket
>AI causing GPU prices to skyrocket
What other price increases is AI responsible for?

My plans for an all-SSD NAS are even further out of reach

Apple is going to be cheaper than PC by the time 2027 hits. I'm only halfway joking. The gen AI stuff means all the slop needs to get stored somewhere. I genuinely don't know what happens when DRAM and NAND just become unavailable because DC buildouts are sucking in all the chip production. Apple is likely the least affected because they book their shit in advance and everything is soldered, not some off the shelf component.

>>107165001
Case prices with some companies went up but that was due to Tariffs

>>107165001
>What other price increases is AI responsible for?
the stocks I bought

>>107164420 (OP)
No thanks, kike. I'll wait until the AI ponzi scheme collapses and all this hardware floods Ebay for pennies on the dollar.

>>107165098
Apple will just delay bumping the MBA base spec storage from 256GB to 512GB because of all this nonsense

>>107164420 (OP)
Anons.. is this enough?
>1TB NVMe OS Drive
>2TB NVMe Extra Drive
>1TB SSD Extra Drive
-
32GB DDR4 (yes, 4 :/)

>>107165156
enough for what? browsing /g/? yes. Don't expect to participate in any of the llms threads though.

>>107165156
No
>1TB OS
>2TB Games
>8TB Torrents
>4TB Stuff
>32TB NAS
Is not enough

>>107165202
How much do they recommend in the LLM threads?

>>107164420 (OP)
Honestly you might as well yolo it and build a Raid Z2 or even Z3 NAS with 6 used HDDs, and a old SSD you got on hand. That way you'll only have the RAM tax to pay.

>>107164420 (OP)
It's obvious the whole thing is a bubble sustained by bigtech having accumulated trillions of dollars in cash after selling user data to advertisers for decades.
When will the bubble pop? Do we have to wait for bigtech to run out of cash in hand or it can happen sooner?

>>107164420 (OP)
Recommendations for a 2TB PCIe 5 M.2? I understand that I can't come close to saturating the link. I am more interested in having a large cache to complete large individual file transfers quickly over having the fastest read/write speeds for small files.

>>107165480
Something like +512GB if you want to run a big boy model.
lol

so what does a CEO do when they have sold out all stock for an entire year already

>>107165254
>Is not enough
Didn't mention my server, lol. 48TB.

>>107164420 (OP)
Yes, goyim, ignore the fact that it's just another fad that will die down and used market will be flooded with unneeded SSDs. SHUT UP AND PANIC.

RETVRN

yes yes ignore the fad just wait 3 years

>>107165642
>he thinks it'll be in consumer m.2 form factor
It'll all be U.2 or U.3 that you won't be able to use

kek, move over crypto

It should be legal to euthanize AI-peddling retards.

>>107164420 (OP)
Got a 2TB one a few months back, should last me a while.

>>107165665
Pleb

should I buy a 4tb ssd now our wait till black friday?

>>107166054
You can buy it for sure now, or wait until Black Friday just like everyone else to save 50 bucks and decrease your chance of getting it from 100% to 50%.

>>107166054
Might depend on what you're getting. I'd go ahead and try to pick out what you want then go check price history charts. I'm doing the same right now. Really wish the Tech Power Up SSD database had sorting...

>>107164420 (OP)
I hate AI, it ruined everything I loved.

What did MSI mean by this

>>107165098
Apple will never be cheaper at anything. They are the Guess jeans of computers and idiots will happily fork out more for a name brand. Their CPUs and GPUs are third rate. They want proprietary garbage instead of using industry standards so you can be locked in. You will always be an absolute fool paying more and they will laugh all the way to the bank. Consider attending meetings for beaten wives so you can see in other people what everyone else sees in you.
