This is a long term good thing.

It sucks right now and will probably suck through 2027.

By 2028 or so we'll have a 50% drop in price-per-storage for these components.

Do you mean relative to six months ago, or now? Because a lot of the prices have already more than doubled.

(I’m upset because the computer I’ve been planning to build, which three months ago would have come to around ₹90,000, is now up to ₹1,20,000 and climbing week by week, half due to price increases on the same part, half due to forced substitutions on RAM since the cheaper 32GB 6400MT/s DDR5 sticks are completely unavailable. And looking into laptops, for the first time ever I’m seeing manufacturet SODIMM or SSD upgrades being cheaper than aftermarket.)

Temporarily thanks to old stock.
