Cartel Flash manufacturers learning from the best: OPEC
Car manufacturers have also been on the same game the last 4 years. Cut production, keep car lots empty. Lots more money for everyone but the consumer.

How does a few million added together get to billions? There is a typo in the table.

Some brands, like timetec and kingspec, still offer cheap 1TB and 2TB Gen3 drives that are in the 2500/1800 speed range.
But I would only suggest those if you REALLY need a cheap SSD right now.

Another thing I am seeing are Gen4 drives in the 5000MB/s ball park reaching price parity with Gen3 drives. They are decent models too, like Lexar NM710, and Patriot VP4300.
