Deal HistoryÂ
Deal History includes data from multiple reputable stores, such as Best Buy, Target, and Walmart. The lowest price among stores for a given day is selected as the "Sale Price".
Sale Price does not include sale prices at Amazon unless a deal was posted by a community member.
Thankfully it's only been since Feb/Mar that prices jumped exponentially. They're starting to soften and that is a good sign for me. Hopefully, PC building will still be a hobby in 10 years and we won't just be renting for the privilege to stream GeForce Now.

I hope this AI bubble bursts soon.
It's not only AI, but data collection.
The cameras that are going up on every street corner and along the freeways have storage needs. All of your voice conversations that your phone and Alexa devices are constantly recording have storage needs. Keeping track of all of your internet searches, creating databases of your family tree, having accurate and up to date location data on your whereabouts, where you've gone, and who you've visited all has storage needs. The video and photos from your phone and Ring doorbell have storage needs. Etc, etc, etc.

Yep. Anyone who doesn't like this needs to start rejecting AI usage. We might not be able to change the trajectory of this, but the only way to try is to be the change you desire to see.
Consumer usage isn't causing the current catastrophe, it's enterprise buildout for perceived demand for agentic AI and similar workloads. If the demand isn't there, they'll eventually forced to stop building it out.

Yes! This is the right idea. Just like how we rejected Walmart and online shopping to preserve the mom and pops, or how we as a society rejected Chinese products to support American manufacturing. We can do this!

Yes, it's like moving a mountain with a spoon. Nothing we individually do really matters. But at the very least we can try not being hypocrites, and not complain about current prices while using the very things that contribute to the problem.
The reality of the situation is this will eventually implode as the hyperscalers see their stocks and balance sheets take a hit due to poor ROI from datacenter buildout. They're all concerned about falling behind each other in this race, trying to convince themselves being the best frontier model will result in the greatest reward, when low-cost, lower demand solutions are slowly, clearly winning. Deepseek and other low-cost models continue to win market share by the day.
The hyperscalers are 90% of this buildout, with hundreds of billions in Capex every quarter collectively. If the ROI isn't there, they'll eventually stop spending. When the hyperscalers stop spending, the demand for NAND and HBM will fall, and balance will return because all cycles eventually do.

Yeah I hate it but $100 per TB is a pretty great deal right now I think.
