SSD Prices

[Sprtfan]

I know ram prices have gone crazy lately, but how about SSD? I purchased a few drives before Christmas that I was going to return. Current price is over twice as much at Walmart now. I might need at least 1 of the drive in the Fall and was wondering if I'd be better off keeping it on the chance I do or if things should settle back down soon. I picked up WD Blue 2 Tbs for $124 and 1 TB for $66. Thanks

Just a cursory search on the googs would give you your answer:

Prices up, won’t get better until it gets worse. Good luck with the search

£25 NVMe drives I was buying around October...now £100!

£20 SD Cards...now £45!

I just bought a load of 64GB USB sticks that were still old price on Amazon yesterday.

If you see it for a good price just buy it and keep it.

Return if finances are tight. I'd hold onto both

It's disgusting TBH. Last summer 8TB nvm priced at $750 is now over $2k.
Done with this AI BS!

Thanks, I'll hold on to them. If it looks like I won't need them, I can put them on Facebook without worrying about losing a ton of money on them at least. Looks like I got in right before things went crazy with a few builds before Christmas. Lucked out.

Actually the Amazon price for the 8 TB sn850x went back to 1200 from 1600 two days ago.

I'd snipe that now if you figure you might need it.

There were a few days in late summer when you could stack discounts on SanDisk's website and get the 8TB SN850X for under $500. I should've bought more.

Wanted a Corsair MP700 PRO XT 2TB a few months back when it came out. 2TB was around 229-249 at the time. Waited too long and now its $379
