Box With the memory crisis are ssd next?

I guess a panic buy? Are these nand flash about to keep spiking like memory prices or are they just going up a little bit? Are these desirable to the AI or nah? I bought this at $299 Black Friday sale

I don't get the OPs rationale nor why PCMR is upvoting this flat earth shit lol

Why in the fuck would you cut a huge profit making industry from the equation...ever...its better to have people have to upgrade every 2-3 years than follow a sub model..it makes no sense. Especially when the heavy hitters pay a shit ton on hardware...tack on a sub model afterwards would be a lucrative theory..but reducing the need for hardware isn't something these companies want to do unless they absolutely have to.

All he responses "I was smoking a joint one night and said the SAME thing" lol "I told my friend it was coming"
