When will SSDs return to normal prices? You have to pay $300 for 1 fucking TB of storage so some retard can generate useless slop and elon musk can become a trillionaire
>>108960166>WhenThe same day the price range of graphic cards will be back to $25-$500 instead of $400-$3000. Never.
>>108960166Continuously buy physical silver coins, so not even them can have SSDs anymore at all, until hardware is cheap again.There's no way you can lose doing that.
>>108960355The price of the first silver coin will not be the same price as the last silver coin, nonono. Some uses for silver are more valuable than others, the marginal price is only for buying from those most willing to sell.
>>108960310I could've gotten a 4TB last year for around $200 but I didn't need it and made the fatal mistake of waiting, now I dofuck me
Supply and demand. When the supply is high and the demand is high, the price is on the high end of reasonable. When the supply is high and the demand is low, the price bottoms out because the inventory is costing them money just sitting there. When the supply is low and the demand is high that's when they can get away with price gouging like right now because SOMEONE will pay the retarded prices.
>>108960639>that's when they can get away with price gouging like right now because SOMEONE will pay the retarded pricesYeah and the high prices are fucking those who are driving up the demand. Let's not call it "price gouging" since there physically isn't enough stock to fulfill demand at 2025 prices. If they did cut prices then someone will just hoover up the supply and resell it, like ppl do with concert tickets.
>>108960166>You have to pay $300 for 1 fucking TB of storageNo it's more like 1.8tb for that much, right?
>>108960548>fatal mistake of waitingIt's not.It's just a waiting game.
>>108960166I got a 4TB NVMe SSD last year for FREE ($0.00). And I don't even use it for anything important, just torrent downloads. U mad?
>>108961747I got 80 million 4TB ssds last year for free and Elon musk called me up and asked me for some and I said no, U mad? And then did a 360 and walked away
>>108960166you will be happy
>>108960166>You have to pay $300 for 1 fucking TB???
>>108960166Never. Your currency is worthless junk. AI was just an excuse to course correct. Food had the exact same increase and nobody is building data centers out of food.
oh my god just fucking buy it's it's just money stop crying
if they stopped selling it yeah you have a reason to be angry but it's still availably to buy just buy it and stop whining every day the same shit i bet you have an ssd right now and yet you're still crying you need another 1TB if you do need it just buy it jeez
>>108963014Those are all shit-tier drives which were under $200 last year.
>>108960548If you could wait then you didn't need it. :^)
>>108960166During the crypto/NFT craze that exploded the GPU prices to the point even RX580s costed 500+ euros, it lasted about a year. Memory prices exploded about half a year ago, give it more time.
>>108960166>When will SSDs return to normal pricesAround the same time grocery prices go back down, never.
>>108960310Back when top end GPUs were $500 they only had to sink like 50W
>>108966355that was more of a rollercoaster, this is more of a new normal
>>108960166I'm sure we can predict the future, anon.
>>108960166it will be a while, probably years
>>108960355kek baggie
>>108964557you don't need anything faster for the shit hardware you already have yuropoor.
>>108968212This "new normal" will last until the memory companies realize AI hyperscalers ran out of money and suddenly they'll have tons of memory sitting unsold.
>>108960166> $300 for 1 fucking TB of storage4 TB of the Lexar NM790 are currently €369 here. FOUR TERABYTES!It's not that bad even, it's all you fucking need:https://www.techpowerup.com/review/lexar-nm790-4-tb/
>>108960639The current demand is illegitimate, inorganic, and inflated
The dollar will be more useless than toilet paper spend it while you still can, preferably on assets that hold value These prices are nothing yet
>>108960166NEVER
>>108960355retard.
>>108960166Unfortunately, never.
>>108971981somehow my SSD (a consumable) is an asset that holds value
>>108971924wow only twice as much as I paid for a 4tb nvme WITH DRAM two years ago
>>108960166You fell for the doomerfag meme. Literally just wait.

Not because of the DRAM but because their other parts (the NAND flash itself and controller) are high quality too.
>>108972950This shit is why I buy U.2/E1.s SSDsWhere just supposed to "trust" consumer shit until this happens
>>108972803> two years agoThat's quite a long time in the digital tech world.
>>108960166current prices are the enw normal btw
