>tfw you bought an SSD last year
>tfw you bought another SSD today
>lexar
but if you buy now you can save $1370
>>109178524it's a perfectly cromulent brand
>>109178490I bought a 4TB drive last year.Hope it lasts
The PC that I assembled for 5k in late 2023 would be worth 20k now. I never thought a computer would be an appreciating asset, it's supposed half in value every year, not double. I wish prices would drop, I need a new one.
>tfw I boughted 64GB DDR5-6400 for $220 last April
>>109178571Thats the price I paid for the 8 TB model last year
>>109178751Are you using 8TB SSDs because you are using several? I went with 4x2TB because I was scared of one failing, but since it takes up all the slots in my motherboard, kinda stuck with that amount now. Don't need more, but going 1x8TB would stress me out, rightly or wrongly.
>>109178899Raid?
>>109178490>tfw you bought an SSD in 2023
>>109178490I literally bought a 4tb crucial p310 ssd on november, it was around 220€ at amazon, now any 4tb ssd starts at over 450€ for shit ones, the good ones are above 500€.
>>109178490it's just retardedI bought a 2TB last year just because I thought this might happenI shoulda got a 4TB
>>109179006>I shoulda got a 4TBI got a 12 TB HDD instead.Easily the best purchase that I've made.
>>109178899SSDs failing is a meme. If you fill them up and then only read from them they'll never fail as long as they're powered.
>>109178983I did, and now I'm shuffling data between machines to free up a 2GB nvme because i'll be damned if I'm buying another before this greedflation ends.
>>109179102Entirely incorrect. The NAND failing is a meme. The controller that runs the NAND gets all fucked up randomly and explodes and you do lose stuff; unless you resolder the nand or controller.
>No DRAMNo thank u
>>109179141Imagine running an OS so dumb it can't into page cache>orImagine being a consoomer who doesn't know the ram cache on SSDs is only there to goose the CrystalDiskMarkTM
>>109178649half every year? naw man never been like that
>>109178649i'm sure i could sell my 32GB of ddr5 for twice what i paid for it... but then i'd have no ram
>>109178629Oi it's a nugget m8
>>109179517Why would I WANT my OS to handle that when it's inherently going to require extra CPU cycles and latency when it can be done via hardware acceleration directly on the SSD controller?
>>109179579I could sell my 64gb for thrice, but then I’d have no ram as well. I would have a 5070ti, though.
that's nothing, my $900 8TB 9100 is $2,000+ now
>>109178751I'm sure.I didn't strictly NEED it, but by December the tides were already turning and I could tell the long term fallout of the price hikes would likely last for several years and become the new normal, so figured it wouldn't hurt even at those slightly inflated prices.So far 7 months later i'm being proven right.
