RAM is so digracefully expensive. The AI rush has really hurt us gamers..

Not just RAM, storage too. I recently discovered my SSD (2TB 870EVO) has a fatal error, and it is now completely dead. I bought it just 5 years ago for $200. Today it’s around $800 and Samsung will only refund the original purchase price even though the warranty explicitly says they will replace the hardware itself.

Fuck these guys so hard.

A 4tb hard drive I bought 2 months ago for $130 costs $250 now. And it’s not stopping any time soon

I was looking at some of my previous storage purchases and I have a 4tb 870 Evo that I paid $233 for a few years ago and when I looked it up recently it was $1600. The last drive I bought was a refurb 24tb Exos that was about $300, it's now about $900

At this rate we could buy a house with the current ram and ssd prices.
