So basically the consumer market is screwed until the AI bubble bursts and manufacturers (GPUs, RAM, HDDs, etc.) can rebalance their production lines back to the pre-AI division of enterprise vs consumer product.
That’s about the size of things, yes.
In 2030 you will own nothing.
And you will be happy.
By 2030 my game “Backups” will in playing time surpass my remaining life expectancy lol
I have a very long breath to dive this through.
Are all these companies going to go bankrupt when the AI bubble pops and their products flood the market?
They’d only go bankrupt if they were spending the capital to increase capacity and were left holding the bag. And nobody’s interested in doing that.
We might dine well on used datacenter hard drives in the coming years.
Issue is that the production is for server gear not consumer. So it’s U2 and other connectors rather than SATA.
Same goes for RAM it’s ECC and won’t work in normal consumer PCs (AMD has like unofficial support)
So that’s why consumer drives and ram are not affected by the price rise! /s
I guess I’ll have to buy one of those racks when the bubble pops. Just add an LED strip on the outside and a gaming GPU on the inside. Surely they support PCIe?
Money burning continues
