  Fuck

  I’m glad I bought a new computer this year, but this fucking sucks.

  And what this is going to do for non phone non SAAS software is going to be brutal.

  It’s going to be thin clients and cloud only for a lot of people and small businesses now.

    I’m glad I bought a spare SSD, can keep going if something bad happens. Even though my PC is kinda old rn, I don’t really play AAA games so I should be good for another 2 years

  Well fuck. Its looking closer and closer to what Collapse OS predicted. Chips are going to be too high in demand for us plebs.

  Fucking great.

  Nevermind that if you want a lot of storage in a ITX machine 2.5" sata drives is the only way to go. I’ve been wanting a second EVO 870 but the price is almost triple what I paid for the first one.

  man I just bought a 500GB SATA SSD as a boot drive for something like 2 months ago, and even then it felt like things were a bit more expensive than they should be. I hate this current tech landscape

  Disks are all moving to NVMe, so this is like IDE being replaced by SATA, not the collapse of the consumer storage market.

    The problem is motherboards typically only have 1 or 2 NVMe ports, but 4+ SATA ports. So consumers will be losing a lot of potential storage expandability when SATA SSDs are gone, especially in small form factor cases that don’t have room for 3.5" spinning disks.

    SATA isn’t going anywhere. Hard drives are still the only option for truly massive amounts of affordable storage, and they won’t be fitting into the M.2 form-factor anytime soon.

    If you want the middle ground, fast but not as expensive as NVME, SATA SSDs make perfect sense. Put em in raid and you can get speed, too. Not just size.

    Not to mention that plenty of still perfectly usable motherboards and laptops still only have the one M.2 slot, so if you want more than one drive, any additional ones have to be SATA.

    This WILL reduce supply, which WILL increase prices. For M.2 drives too, because people who could have gone straight for SATA, now have to buy M.2 and put it in an adapter.

      Did you miss the part where it says SATA SSD?

    It’s OK to not post when you have no idea what you’re talking about.

      It would be helpful to call out and explain the specific inaccuracy in addition to the sarcastic put down, for those of us wanting to learn

  Time to go back to SATA 2.5”, wait, that’s what I use anyway. lol
