Don't worry, RAM and GPU prices are still through the roof so it all evens out.
Gabriel Jackson

Not long now, it's all going tumbling down too.
Easton Brooks
Sure, prices will drop for a few months and then DDR5 will get released and RAM will be retardedly expensive again.
Gavin Thompson
Wouldn't a new model of ram make ddr4 cheaper?
Angel Clark
16GB modules of DDR3 still costs ~$120 per stick so... not really.
Sebastian Ward
Check DDR3 prices.
They are basically the same or more expensive now.

Holy shit it's happening!
I don't really care about this. I use only iGPUs and I don't need more than 8GB RAM in my desktop and 4GB in laptops.
Hunter Ortiz
Why do you seem to care so much about SSDs dropping in price then?
David Hernandez
>SSDs
enjoy your data loss
Elijah Walker
lel @ poorfags with obsolete tech
Connor Allen
Because I'm dumb frog poster.
Thomas Morgan
haha, no. when a new one comes out, they ramp down then stop production of the old, and with limited supply comes higher prices
Carter Fisher
g-good1! ~condescending snicker~

They get a slap on the wrist compared to the amount they made.

A daily reminder Lisa Su is Chinese too. How does THAT make you feel, Jow Forumsuys?

0.08 by 2020, lul. HAOH tapefags and HHDcucks could ever recover.
Gabriel Moore
You can get ddr4 8gb ram for about $50 right now on Amazon, what are you talking about?

How is it there, in 2010?

She's Taiwanese and has lived in the US since she was three.
Michael Green

...saem shit.
Bentley Carter
Taiwanese are pro-western anti-commiechink chinks
Samuel Bennett
Taiwan is still China, though.
Landon Reyes
In practice they're different countries.
Juan Cruz
So could also be implied about Macau or Hong Kong, and yet...
Nathan Thompson
Beijing has better control over those regions even if they're filled with dissidents.
Jaxon Perry
Taipei is LITERALLY called "Chinese Taipei", lul.
Luke Cox
It's a working title because Beijing doesn't recognize that Taiwan is de facto independent.
Anthony Phillips

Yeah, never mind, I'll wait another 10 years before replacing my HDD.

Did the Chinese market regulators finally break the Samsung-Hynix-Micron-Toshiba flash memory cartel with threats of full scale price fixing investigation, massive fines, and even possible criminal prosecution and jailing of executives?
Evan Murphy
You're a lamer if you don't understand the concept of "1TB of SSD space equals 8TB of HDD space by quality of storage per 1GB". 4TB of SSD space, in this lieu, equals 32TB of enterprise tier HDD space.
Lucas Gray
>logarithmic scale
those jews man...

>thinks the most important metric is """quality""" and not quantity

it's like a bad stock really quickly when new RAM comes out. Buy what you need within the first month or two, or else you're fucked after that. It'll drop then double.
Jordan Miller
CPU is cheap now lol
better than it was years ago..
It's still better to just get them used DESU. you can grab them on ebay, run memory check on them and return them if not open a dispute. if they work they work. also nearly all ram has lifetime warranty so you can get new shit if you want.
I always get CPUs, RAM used. sometimes I get GPUs used and very rarely motherboards. CPUS & RAM are pretty much 100% safe though, they last through a lot of abuse.
Alexander Bennett
China don't do dick in terms of fabrication of RAM and NAND, it is actually Korean companies that have been fucking NAND and RAM for years and have been caught colluding several times.
Once China gets some DRAM fabs prices will drop considerably and should stay low due to competition between Chinese companies and competition from Korea
Brody Watson
>buy cheap SSD for speedy OS and favorite programs
>also buy your big HDD for all of your bulk storage
Is this not an option or something?
I don't get this mind set of "I'm not touching SSDs unless there as cheap as HDD"
You can enjoy 90% of the benefits of an SSD without having to go all SSD
Blake Stewart
The only China is what you idiots keep calling Taiwan. Communist-occupied China is the "PRC".
Brayden Brooks
970 EVO NVMe M.2 a good choice?
James Ross

What's the cheapest 8TB SSD?

500TB HDD or SSD?

Dylan Perry
No matter how much of a porn hoarder or AAA Video Game whore you are, you have to admit the difference between a $120 500MB SSD and a $50 500MB SSD is far more important than jamming on a few extra TB onto a shit brand.

GPU's are back down to sane prices now, across a broad swath of the market. Radeon 570s are down to as low as $130 after MIR. You can get an 8GB Radeon RX 580 for under $200 now. Even a Vega 56 or Geforce 1070 can be had for $350.
RAM is also down in price; 2x8GB 3000 kits are showing up for $110 and below.
Jackson Carter
Are there any drives which are considered unstable and should be avoided? Are 4TB drives still prone to dying? I used to go with the 2+2TB option but I'd like to consolidate everything at some point and get a 4 or 8TB main and 8TB backup.
Caleb Scott
Can't wait until we get cheap consumer 16tb drives.
John Wood
Indeed, the government of Taiwan (ROC) is the only government of China the US should recognize.
Jackson Powell
...huh?
Blake Brooks
Enjoy your SHINGLE OUT OF ASS turtle speeds with bad sectors everywhere, CONSTANT PARKING, bit flipping/rotting and data loss, I guess.
Brandon Morgan
Let me guess...you've typed that from Sing-a-poor?
Camden Richardson
>What's the cheapest 8TB SSD currently?
Micron 5200, SATA III, 1960$.
James Smith
>Are there any drives which are considered unstable and should be avoided?
Anything-OCZ, anything-Indilinx, anything-SandForce.
Everything else is fine, differing only in quality of TRIM, caches, cells, and speeds. Phison is slow, but reliable, for example (it's like buying a 5400RPM HDD purely for archival hoarding purposes). Silicon Motion is medium in speeds, but very reliable and cheap at the same time. Micron is cheap, but lesser lifespans (in TBW) and shitty cache, Samsung is overpriced as fuck while having most reliable and fastest shit on the market with top tier cell tech.
