Apparently WD and Seagate stock have already taken a hit at the announcement.

Prices are so up that even when it bursts, they will go to normal ones. I mean price per GB was normal to go down, and now for 1st time in history it went up.

Same and worse for RAM.

Its like we are 15 years back for RAM and like 10 years back for HDDs.

Great point! Sextuple production!

Better than reducing production because prices are going down (see SSD production between 2023 and 2025).
