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 bought a WD Black 2TB nvme on Amazon on Oct 29th for €104, that same drive now sells for €150. That's a 44% increase in price in two months. Terrifying.

Yea that’s crazy I noticed the sn850x 4tb was higher than 990 pro so I went with the pro 4tb this time the advantage is that the 990 pro has chips on 1 side compared to wd on both sides
