We've all been through this before.
Can they just start the anti-trust investigation now? Instead of waiting a year for a bunch of mysterious accidents and power outages to conveniently stop production at the companies that promised they really wanted to increase production for real.... "But onoes, gosh darn it, I guess we'll have to drastically cut production instead *shrug emoji*.

It would save everybody a lot of time.

Indeed. It's very strange how each time SSDs become affordable, suddenly there is a confluence of events that directly lead to sky high prices again - and giddily happy CEOs of SSD companies!

Which even are you talking about?
AFAIK, there wasn't any notable event.

The NAND makers were overproducing and so they cut back production at roughly the same time.
As a company, you would have to be insane to keep producing at cost.

Prices going up but only a short while ago they where going down due to over supply. Demand as picked up that much already?

They all did, one company did not cut production so they could reap the rewards of a high price and have more to sell.

15% hardly seems high given general inflation.

Have you seen the price of every other product in the world?

Intel dumped this market because it was commodifying and tight margins are expected in the future.

It's definitely an OPEC style cartel. Just did a spot check on SSDs and if you're overlooking the cheap Chinese branded SSDs, we're almost to double prices compares to just 6 months ago for SSDs. That's well over "inflation".

Everyone here supporting the US’s anti-competitive policies of sanctioning YMTC and limiting foreign NAND fab production in China, then complaining when ssd prices go up… can’t have your cake and eat it too
