@campuscodi ffs...
... this circle jerk of a circus in acquiring real hardware with make believe money is... quite the circus.
Would be nice if we can restore this timeline to a previously recorded snapshot, no?

@campuscodi I’m also worried for WD’s share price when half those companies cease to exist before the orders ever ship.

@campuscodi I feel like this snaps the trap shut on consumers. You'll get your storage from an AI vendor in the cloud or you won't get it at all. And because you can't afford your own backup media, you'll pay what they ask and compromise however they want.

Be interesting if, having locked up the market, AI companies start arbitraging SSDs.

@campuscodi If they buy up all the hard drive space then you don't have any opportunity to build your own shit and store stuff they don't want stored.
Should maybe be looking at optical next. Might be finding out that for whatever reason AI needs all those 1000 year storage disks too and all the stuff used to make them.

@campuscodi I think they saw the grifting on RAM prices and wanted in. Doubt they actually scored 'huge AI contracts' for their HDD inventory. But who'll prosecute? And in the meantime, every HDD vendor will jump on the chance to up prices.

Just SSD? Because I've been trying to get a couple of HDDs for my home NAS and the prices keep jumping all over the place.
I wish I had gotten the idea last year, but at least last year I swapped all my hardware before the RAM crisis.
