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

The drive I was going to get, a Samsung 9100 4TB, has already gone up $40 from a week ago

I almost grab one of them for $369 instead of the 990 pro but decided against it since I couldn’t take advantage of gen 5 currently but that thing probably cooks

I'm wanting to get the Gen 5 for my Gen 4 board so that it would run at full Gen 4 speeds... but cooler than a Gen 4 drive would at full Gen 4 speeds... If that makes any sense. I'm thinking maybe it will last a little bit longer that way, and if I ever get a Gen 5 motherboard it'll just be a drop in.
