SSDs upHDDs upSD cards up Sony has now stopped selling SD cards completely Several websites like Myrient and Animetosho shutting down over storage prices https://www.tomshardware.com/tech-industry/sony-suspends-nearly-all-memory-card-orders-in-japanSo How's /g/ handling things?
>>108475248Have you considered crime?
>>108475248in my limitless wisdom I had bought my system some time ago and since it still works it doesn't matterit is mildly concerning that if it failed tomorrow it would cost a great deal more to replace whatever components failed
Capitalism. Is. Epicsauce.
The best time to buy is yesterdayThe second best time to buy is yesterday
i saw the trends and listened to the warning signs for once and panic bought last november. it was already expensive by normal standards at the time but then it got way way worse, so i'm handling things just fine. only real downside is hardware discussion is nothing but doomerism rn so following hardware news is annoying these days, but somehow i'm persevering.
Sitting on a dozen 2TB SSDs NIB, trying to decide when to sell to come close to the top of the market but so far it doesn't look like the bubble is nearing a popping point.
>>108475248Luckily I can survive without an SSD for awhile. I bought one more 16TB HDD to hold me off for awhile and I built my new PC last year in February and I had a PS5 and Switch 2 at launch. Just gotta wait a few years for this to blow over.
My SSD is worth more than RAM
>>108475248summary: prices will not be coming down for SSDs, NVMEs and HDDs so we're fucked.
>>108475343Not a thing to be proud of anon. I can get a 2TB Gen 5 drive for half that.
the best part is that the first blackwell trained models are about to come out and:1. they're fucking huge and resource intensive to serve2. scaling has actually worked and they are significantly betterso if anything, things are about to get, much, much, worse for consoomers
Supply and demand, GTFO commie
>>108475386I have a PS3 60GB in my gumstick size SSD slot. not many people can say this.
>>108475430Huh
>>108475384wow. got the 4tb version 2 years ago and now it might be worth more than my graphics card
>>108475248Hdd prices have gone up even more in the last week or two. It's over for storagefags.
>>108475439PS3 60GB MSRP was five hundred and nintety nine you es doll erz
>>108475677Oh, so just stupid ESL shit.
>>108475248Thank you based Tech Jesus.
>>108475248(You) WILL purchase a thin client for $1000USD minimum(You) WILL stream your video games(You) WILL use cloud storage(You) WILL submit to AI scans of your data to check for inappropriate activity
>>108475248Myrient roms already backed up elsewhere.
Also a reminder: the bubble popping won't bring the prices down. We're fucked in any scenario in the foreseeable future.
10% of all NAND flash has already been purchased by NVIDIA
>>108475259mama mia
>>108475248It has become a religion only the super rich can pursue. We’ll all be dead by their hand.
mfw I bought a 4TB nvme for my gaymes last year to supplement the 2TB one I allready had
>>108475300I saw the trends and didn't believe it could get worse :( Microcenter had 20tb hdd for around $200 just to look at it right now cost $500 and out of stock, I thought I had time.
>>108476529I don't remember 20TB ever being close to $200 lol maybe $350 or $400. I paid $240 for a 12TB last February and December of 2024 and $199 in 2023. Just bought a 16TB about 2 weeks ago and it was $399 which sucked but I have the MC credit card at least so I just put no interest on it and I'll pay it off over the next 6 months. Didn't really need it but I know I will later this year so I bit the bullet and there's nothing else I'm going to buy.
(they) don't want you to own a PC
>>108476564It's feeling like they don't want me to own anything at all
>>108475863Forgot:(You) WILL pay a monthly subscription for $500USD minimum to use your thin client
>RAM is more expensive than high end CPUsHow on earth does this make sense?
>>108475248I'm so happy I got my compute and NAS servers assembled a year ago, before the first shortages begun.My condolences to all the niggas itt shopping for parts.
>>108476583Not true. They want you to own a subscription.
i buydered 3 2tb drives for a total of $465. i could sell one of them and keep the other two for free with some profit.
>>108475863They dont want you to subscribe, they want you off the internet entirely.
>>108475248>HDDs up what? why?
Why is everything a "crisis" these daysNothing ever happens
>>108477737>Nothing ever happensexcept war in the middle east again. oil prices going up 50%ram price exploding x4 at leastnow storage going the same way gpus being unaffordable for years now cpus soon the same shitand thats only consumer shit.
>>108477802>gpus being unaffordable for years nowTbr they were underpriced for years before that, current pricing is perfectly fine
>>108477809how the fuck where they underpriced
>>108475248You can buy big USB sticks at the same price as 5 years ago.The elites don't want you to know this
>>108477313Demand and supply. Look it up.
>>108477824sub 2000€ for a high end model never felt right given the enormous complexity of operation in the semiconductor industry.
>>108477385>subscription>when you can't even afford foodkek
>>108477956Lmao what?
> 9070XT / 9800X3D / DDR5 6000hz cl36 / 1000w / MSI X870E-P PRO / Thermalright Phantom Spirit > $1700 Nov '25> $2015 Mar-Apr '26~18% price increase but being fair it's almost entirely the RAM doing this, as the set I bought went from $200 to $450. I just bought two 4TB HDDs for $115 each to get started with my first NAS, and it hurt my feelings a little. But hey, now I have a dedicated box to stream movies I never watch from anywhere that has internet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
>>108477998>cl36 micron ram
Should I buy now?I need 1 256-500g nvme, is it too late?
I have 4 NAS and 5 PCs and six laptops plus spares and a stack of working PS1.PS2s, 360s and retro computers, Mght pic up some older GPU cheap if I see one as a local AI upgrade for the done and perimiter security network but everything I have except one laptop is now offline an running smoothly and I don't need more any improvements are in thw media and data interfaces and indexing, not the hardware, applications, fata, media etc. The time to do this shit was a over three years ago to a decade ago. I'd lay money there are still people in this thread without an offline lan or even an xp or seven desktop with spares. Piling money into cloud portal gayming portal led light space heaters really sucker punched and filtered tards from what mattered. I get better search results from my offline lan than google or any other search engine at this point. What I have could easily last me another 20 years and I would not notice much if the internet and the rest of civlisation vanished.The problem with these big HHs you all fixate on Vs sizes up to 3TB is that they are quite impractical in RAID as you wind up with week long rebuild times. I have no idea what you are posting about them. a '20TB' hdd drive would be a pain in the ass to bacl up, a single point of failure and a RAID box with even five of them would be a fucking nightmare on rebuilding time wise if one of them goes, it would take fuck knows how long. Even boxes with 6 x3TB take a fucking long time. 2TB is a sweet spot because they are also useful for things like XP boxes (max drive size allowed)Anyhow. There are two kinds of people, people with offline LANs filled with stuff and HW and plebs with portal devices. The great divide is happening.Do you know though, normies actually DO subscribe to watch stuff and use onedrive and office 365 and drap like youtube and netflix and spotify. They really do. It's amazing. These are people in rental forking out 100$ a month to own additional nothing.
>>108475248Now that the bubble (not just the AI one LMAO) is popping what is he going to make videos on in future?>HURR MANUFACTURERS ARE FUCKING YOU OVER BY SELLING FOR CENTS ON THE DOLLAR!
>>108478110Desktop PC byuilding is fucking over m8 read the tea leaves the corporations that gave you the PC and operating systems and internets don't fucking want to make them anymore or deal with the whining plebs still buying bits for them. They want you on a 256/512 portal device that is unrepairable and disposable, has zero privacy, is insecure by design playing for cloud portal gaymes and compute and storage and media. The desktop PC is dead and if you don't have your shit in order then you are fucked. Even makes me wonder if the shit like the intel 13/14 gen degradation or the fact SSDs have determinate lifespans is deliberate.
>>108478136>three decades of PC is over broWhatever you say retardo. Two more weeks.
>>108478147ok you're dumb, fair enoughbecause something was it always must be said the horse
>>108478136>steam hits new all time player records every other month>micron RAM deal imploded so bad they‘re rumored to be in complete panic over having killed off crucial>console sales crashed harder than ever>p-pc is o-over g-guys!What is it with you delusional faggots? For thirty fucking years you‘ve been screeching how this is the end for pcs but for real this time. The only thing impressive about you faggots is not a single one of your predictions ever came true, you‘d think you‘d get lucky just once but you faggots are so exceptionally stupid you manage to get it wrong 100% of the time.

>>108478200The chip shortages the world is experiencing because of shitter centers are unprecedented though. The demand for wafers is through the roof.
>>108475248ATF was shutting down but no more, GLORYY!!!
So what happened in September 2025? Did Skynet start spreading itself?
>>108475265I used to sell all my old computer parts on eBay when I upgraded, but years ago they started giving buyers the freedom to do refunds without having to ship the item back, even if you don't offer returns. Only took losing $400 on a GPU once for me to never trust eBay again.Now I've got a whole stockpile of PCs from the past decade in a closet and so if anything in my current one dies, I'll scrounge parts from an older one.

>>108478412I know data centers something, but why September?
>>108478402RAM manufacturers can't increase production because they aren't enough wafers for everyone, retard.
>>108477624Data centers still need HDDs. Everything that's not on recent demand and backups get stored on HDDs still because they give the best amount of storage for the money.
>>108478427Where do wafers come from, retard?

>>108478607The "mainframe"+useless cheap terminals setup has been back since complete adoption of Internet, computers got small and cheap by the end of 2000s, because the manufacturers foresaw that all you need anymore from a computer is Internet browsing capability. But the AI bubble makes it apparent that we will go all the way down to "mainframes" and fancy modern ARM-based mobile device terminals, if the market empowers the Internet too much at once.
lmao datahoarders btfoRealistically you don't need more than 128gb of storage and 4gb of RAM
>>108475248I don't own any hardware made after 2018. I just bought a thinkpad w530 for 60 bucks :3

I’ve been living with an assumption that components like this would be available if I needed them. Suddenly access dried up and the feeling is strange. I begin to take inventory of the devices I have that can store digital data.
What happens if sites like OnlyFans that host tons of large video files no longer can easily purchase mass storage for cheap?
>>108479987Government will bail them out. Onlyfans is a key pillar to the United State economy and must not be allowed to fall.

>myrientIf its really storage costs, then why don't they just basically keep what they have but not expand it further for the moment? I don't see any reason to take it all down>animetoshoIsn't it predominantly a torrent tracker so others are handling the storage?
I'm so glad I "panic bought" back in January.
>>108475248Oh no... anyway.

>>108475384>>108475953WHY NOT!!

>>108481527I had no idea things will get this bad either, I lucked out and bought everything when prices were still "normal".The 8TB drive in the desktop was 110 EUR or thereabout on sale, it's an external drive I harvested, just the HDD was 200 EUR at the time. The three 16TB disks were 300EUR each, and I also have a 4TB SSD in my laptop that was 200 EUR. >>108482568Not really, just setting up a network share is trivial. Setting up nginx to have access over https to the various services I run is a bit more of a hassle, but everything is open source and well documented.
>>108475248Horribly. Everything is falling apart, my hobby is being destroyed before my very eyes, and there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. It's so bleak that I can barely stand to come to /g/ anymore. I'm losing my fucking mind.

>>108484145i hope that happens too. it would cause a malthusian collapse in the third world which would solve many of our problems online
>>108484145This is what gets me about all of this. These computer parts are ESSENTIAL to the modern world. Like, we're not just talking about PCs here, businesses and shit need computers to run, and they're already starting to drop from just not being able to afford them. How the absolute fuck is this legal?
>>108475248I have so much hdd and ssd storage its fucking crazymaybe i should sell some of italso like 400gb excess ram in various ddr4 and ddr5 sticks
>>108484895TF do you expect to happen? Supply controls for ram?The majority of businesses run thin clients for cloud shit anyway, a laptop from 2020 with 8gb ram and 256gb ssd is enough for 90% of all corposlaves
Like quite a few other people outside of the echo chamber I built my new PC back in January of 2025 and named it the Tariff Build. The writing was on the wall that the economy was about to be clowned on with complete anti-consumer domination. Of course I didn't expect complete deregulation of AI companies to the extent that they can simply buy us completely out of owning computers, but maybe I should have.
>>108484145lmao they already bought most of the water and energy in those places where they're building data centers and the goycattle still don't care
>>108485034this. computers are so good and have been so good for so long that most people will start using last gen hardware and it won't be a big enough deal for anyone who matters to complain about it.
I'm really glad I bought two 8TB server HDDs for cheap a couple years back. As far as storage goes, I should be set for a long time. Theoretically it would've been nice to add another nvme drive, but 2TB is plenty for that and I can just offload extra data to the HDD I have in my home server. Long term we're all fucked though.
>>108482568Pi (rpi or cheaper competitor, does not matter) + external HDDs + samba share = ezpz NAS (RAID autism optional)
>>108485034>>TF do you expect to happen? Supply controls for ram?yes
>>108475248I remember when gamers nexus was a hardware news channel
>>108475248I just bought a refurbed HP elitebook on eBay that has 32gb of ram for $500. Where is this crisis?
>>108482672Consumer don't account for shit so they see no reason to go back even after AI pops
>>108486835All but the cheapest routers come with USB 3.0 and have some version of network sharing, some even over the internet.Whether you want to rely on ASUS/TP-Link etc. for security patches is another question altogether.
>>108480075so you have 32GB of vram by combing a 5070 ti and a 5060 ti?
>>108479987recompression time
you will own nothing. not cars ,not computers, not a house, NOTHING
>>108475248I thought 200 was too high a price for an 8 TB HDD. I still think it's too high a price... I hope my 2 TB HDD from 2013 doesn't fail.
>>108475248yeah this is why monopolies are bad
>>108478358Micron announced its departure from the consumer sector + data center ramp up
>>108490356I already own my car, my motorcycle, my computer, and my house. So what now?
>>108476559>MC credit cardCan't think of a single store card that doesn't scream scam created by greedy juice. 5% is not worth getting trapped.
>>108490668Eh, it's basically removing tax from a purchase I'm making regardless, and in this case it allowed me to buy something I didn't want to ahead of time and pay it off cheaper. It's not the most impressive thing but you gotta think most CCs are giving like 3% cashback so 5% off is a much better deal and interest free for x amount of time can obviously let you manage money better.Getting trapped is gonna happen to someone regardless if they suck and aren't good with CCs and their money, and you can't help that.
>>108484895>How the absolute fuck is this legal?america is a hypercapitalist shithole with legalized bribes so every politician is controlled by corporations.not only do they not care but it actually benefits them if small businesses collapse and get bought up for cheap.
>>108482828>>108483713>>108483608>>108486835I have no idea what you guys just said so my point t still stands
>>108484895It's not even possible to make laws around this because the retard in chief decreed only the federal government can do that and he'd sooner have a datacenter in every county, raising the local temperature by 16-20F, while everything from businesses (as long as they're not megacorps, who will obviously be safe) to citizens wither and die. Decade of the slop.
Apparently the RAM shortage was mostly caused by OpenAI making a ton of "intent to purchase" and they're not actually buying any more RAM?
WHERE ARE THE NEW MONITORS WHAT'S THE FUCKING HOLD UP
>>108475248I bought all of the storage I needed back in 2018.
