Well, the news is the plants are ramping back up production levels.... to meet the new massive demand for AI data centers storage needs.
The speculation is prices may come down if they overshoot the demand signals, but seeing as this little 8 month artificial manipulation of supply and demand proved very profitable for them, I'm willing to bet they are going to be turning the control knobs as precisely as possible to keep up these profit margins.
Or they could be greedy and stupid and flood the market and we are back to 2023.
It's much less of a "sure thing" though as it was when we knew prices would go up starting last fall. There's another wildcard variable this time. If AI keeps sucking up all hardware then there really won't be much of an increase in supply at the consumer level.
I would buy the TEAMGROUP MP44L 1TB for $65 dollars instead if I needed a drive today. (Or the Lexar 1TB NM710 if it is the same price or lower as the MP44l).

I don't agree. It's supply and demand. The demand is not changing (whether it is high or not or whether it is from AI demand or not), the supply is being increased. Based on economics 101, that doesn't indicate an increase in price - it indicates a decrease.
