Samsung just happens to be in commodity chip making. Don’t worry, the chip bosses will get together for a bottle of Soju, do some racketeering, SSDs and RAM will be expensive again but profits are going to be back.



SSDs are already spiking. A 2TB Samsung Sata3 ssd went from €120 in October to €170 in December.


So I'll just wait till they're 100..


Maybe I have been too obscure in stating what’s going to happen: the oligopoly of SSD/RAM makers will collude explicitly or implicitly to cut production and raise prices. Because right know they are making a loss selling you a SSD, all of them.

This is a cycle we have been through at least twice now.


Well, they pretty much announced this months ago. The cycle continues as usual.
