Micron ends Crucial consumer SSD and RAM line, shifts focus to AI and enterprise

https://videocardz.com/newz/micron-k...and-enterprise

I just spent $500 on a high end motherboard just because it came with 32 gigs or ram.

A few months back I was looking at getting 64 gigs of ram for like $250. Now the price is over $900. Fcking crazy.

I sold a 1TB of DDR4-2933 ECC RAM back in August before everything started going up.

As a side note, I noticed that even flash memory cars like SD/microSD cards are insanely expensive now.

Last month, I bought a few 128GB SDXC cards for $29. The same exact ones are now $80.

Yeah, the AI demand is also affecting all flash storage since they use NAND flash, although it's not as significant compared to DDR5.

Don't know which card you bought, but there should be absolutely no reason a 128GB card should be $80.

The Kingston Canvas Go Plus 128GB microSDXC is $30 at Staples and it's a highly rated card.
