Good, this is what I was hoping for, especially with demand for AI datacenters shrinking. I hope Micron hates themselves for killing off Crucial when this happens

Chinese RAM has CCP spyware, we're only allowed to buy pure American RAM made in, uh, Taiwan lol

as someone who self hosts, i will be buying like crazy. i used to just say "ehh , i'll get it later" - but right now, its hdd availability thats killing me. i am trying to build a nas and wd red plus drives are a week out, with cable guy times. So i have to make sure i will be around in a three day window.

But at what cost!?

It's a good first step, but I already know they will be fine with only 300% of previous prices. They aren't investing all this money to sell to the lowest bidder.

I mean we've seen how prices for Chinese solar and EVs dropped once production ramped up, I expect we'll see the same with memory and eventually chips too.
