” Can they do anything a about the RAMpocalypse that is also jacking up NVMe prices, hard drive prices too.”

Happy I got my 128G Evo X2 just before all this started. I’m set for a couple of years. 😊

I am all set too, with 2x 1TB WD Black nvme I bought in October, and some surplus DDR4 laptop ram. I bought eBay used a 32gb x 1TB OptiPlex (cheap!) and a few used Latitude laptops. Two with 32gb ram.

You know the plot. To minimize home compute, gamers hit hardest. To have people at home/businesses, monthly rent their compute from AI data centers. I was in Best Buy Sunday, the only desktops were gamers desktops. Tons of selection for laptops n tablets.

I am using one of the 1TB nvme in an external USB enclosure. Love the transfer speeds.
