I paid $230 in early December for the 4TB WD SN850X - same drive is now $310. I built my new gaming rig. Did the 4TB WD NVMe,and then (2) 2TB Solidigm NVMe drives for $75 each right before Christmas.I completely forgot about my old Gaming Rig which I wanted to upgrade. Same Solidigm drive is now $120.

WD and Samsung agreed to cut chip production in order to get prices to rise. Hoping the lawsuit for price gouging/fixing comes faster than it did with the GPU fixing.

I believe that China is buying up everything because of US sanctions which is driving up the price.

I hate to pay nearly double the price from what I paid a month ago. I might just roll with my current 1TB until it dies. Maybe I will partition magic the drive and kill my Linux partition and expand my Windows partition.
