2 Years ago I got a cheap 2TB SATA SSD for 106euro. The same listing today stands at 230.

In January this year I got 12TB WD hdd off manufacturer site for 230 (25% discount off an official price of 330 or so). Today it is 560 and 25% discount would end up being higher than the cost of that HDD pre-AI bullshit. Thanks, ChatGPT…

If not for AI bros, we’d have Steam Machine around 700.
