I read news of SATA SSDs spiking in price just a few hours ago. Gonna go to sleep now, expecting a spike in floppy disk prices when I wake up and punch cards tomorrow evening.

Didn't Samsung say that they weren't making consumer Sata ssds anymore? Jfc we really are going to the whole "you own nothing".

Unless they use IP to prevent new producers from entering the market, there should be a response eventually.

HDDs are precision machinery, of course, but not lost alien technology only old big companies can make.
