I wonder what changed, prices were being driven down on SSDs for a while there
Put a 1tb 850 Evo in our PS4 years ago for a pretty reasonable price. Kind of expected prices to continue to fall back then
AI happened. It requires an immense amount of RAM and storage for data centers, and manufacturers don't have enough production capacity to keep up.
Prices were going down because the consumer market didn't have as much of a demand for both after covid.
Samsung makes some of the best SSDs!!
Fuck
I got an old Nitro 5 with a rickity old 500gig hard drive. Will a Crucial BX500 1TB 3D NAND SATA 2.5-Inch Internal SSD be a good Christmas present for it?
Probably should get something while prices are somewhat more reasonable.
This is non-news puffed up for engagement, isn't it? Samsung doesn't make IDE hard drives any more either.
