Why has RAM and SSDs gone up and when will they drop in price?

We analyze the excessive price increase of RAM and SSDs and try to understand the reasons for this absurd price increase, which in some cases exceeds twice the lowest price recorded.

A few months ago we are facing a significant increase in the price of DDR4 RAM memories and a slight increase in SSD units. Having seen this, we have set to work to find out what is happening and analyze the 'excuses' that the manufacturers of NAND Flash memory are presenting. To carry out this study we have relied on Amazon and the CamelCamelCamel utility, which allows us to see the evolution of the prices of certain products.

Regarding the parameters, we have set out to look for an important range of manufacturers with significant recognition within the industry. In RAM memories we have relied mostly on 16GB kits, we have also added other memories of other capacities. Regarding the SSD, we have relied on units of 240GB or approximate, with some units of some brands of 250GB and 256GB, since some models have a little more capacity. We have based ourselves on these cases in which 16GB of RAM and 240GB for an SSD are recommended for an average gaming device.

Upgrade. The passage of time has shown what is the real problem of the increase in the price of memory for RAM modules and SSDs. The problem lies in the first place, that manufacturers are unable to meet the demand, among others, due to a large increase in the amount of memory required by smartphones and the increase in server installation. Secondly, it is speculated that manufacturers are manipulating prices with the lack of stock, negotiating prices. There is a law firm in the United States that has already filed a class action lawsuit against manufacturers, for oligopoly and fraudulently altering prices.

It seems unlikely, at the moment, that the situation will improve, since this year a reduction in the price of memory chips for RAM and SSDs was expected, but now the situation has changed and everything indicates that until 2019, the situation will not improve. Although the SSDs are more or less stable and have suffered a drop in price, the RAM is still expensive and does not look like the situation will change anytime soon.


The price rise theory


The industry has reported that the price increase was due to the Christmas period and the high demand for smartphone memories, since smartphone memory and RAM are quite similar and the manufacturing process is practically the same. We are now in the month of April and three full months have passed and things are neither stabilizing nor reducing, on the contrary, they continue to rise, which makes no sense, if we look at the reasons of the industry. Nor does it make much sense that the flood began especially in late August and early September.


What is the reality?


We are at a difficult point and some information says that 30% of the production of NAND Flash memory modules is destined for commercial RAM, but we do not know what the percentage is destined for SSDs. Some information has also said that the manufacturers Samsung, Hynix, Toshiba and Micron, as the most important, have agreed on prices, with the intention of preventing users from suffering from the price of these units, but everything points to price manipulation of NAND Flash memories due to the existence of an oligopoly.

Another problem is that some manufacturers are migrating to other manufacturing processes and increasing the density of memory modules. It is expected that by doubling the capacity, with the same current production, the densities per unit of RAM memory could be increased, again lowering prices. The problem is that the reduction in manufacturing leads to a reduction in stock and the demand continues and even grows, therefore, prices rise, as there is a great demand and a reduction in stock. The old law of supply and demand.


The JEDEC announcement


Skylake and Kaby Lake from Intel for the home and gaming sector and Ryzen from AMD, for the same sector (not counting the Broadwell-E, processors for Workstation), are the only three families of processors that make use of DDR4 RAM. DDR4 has not been used for two years and JEDEC would already be developing DDR5, which would be ready or developed next year and could be implemented from 2020. These memories are expected to double the frequencies and therefore the performance and reduce energy consumption by half.

The problem with this is that new factories will be needed, because with the current stock problems, changing the manufacturing process from DDR4 to DDR5 is unfeasible, as it could cost more 16GB @ 2400MHz than an AMD Ryzen 7 1800X. We add to this that we must have processors and chipset that support these memories. The motherboards in principle should not have problems in this regard.


What is the price of RAM and how much has it gone up?


We see how we have chosen a wide variety of manufacturers, in order to offer the widest possible analysis. We see how the 8GB of RAM currently is more or less at the same price as the 16GB of RAM of a few months ago. The one that has risen the least in the 8GB are the Corsair Vengeance LPX. Regarding the 16GB, it depends a lot on the working frequencies of the memories, but the one that apparently has seen the least increase in price are the Geil Super Luce 16GB 3000MHz, with a high price but that has been the one that has changed the least.

Within the 16GB, the Team Group Xtreem 3600MHz have suffered an increase of 114%, while the Kingston HyperX Fury 2400MHz have increased their price by 119%. These increases are crazy, so much so that the latter have gone from € 67 to over € 145 in just a few months. We have also revised the price of the 32GB and 64GB, so that you have a reference to the price of these.


What is the price of SSDs and how much have they gone up?


SSDs have also risen in price in recent months, albeit less than RAM in terms of percentage. These units have seen their price increased between 11% (Patriot Pyro) and 60% (Patriot Ignite and Kingston SSDNOW UV400). Logically these units have different prices for performance. Depending on the manufacturer, we have some prices or others and most are below € 100, with some exceptions.


Problems for AMD Ryzen


A factor of RAM memories is the working frequency and all processors notice it, but especially AMD Ryzen. The Ryzen 7 are made up of two CCX modules with four cores and eight threads, each one interconnected by means of a special data bus that depends directly on the frequency of the RAM memory, or what is the same, the faster the RAM memory , the faster the interconnection and the better the performance.

As we have seen, the higher the frequency, the higher the price and that is a direct problem for these processors. One solution is to increase the frequency of the RAM memory by overclocking, sacrificing latencies, something that is also a problem, because we already know that the Ryzen cache generates a certain latency with respect to other processors, due to the BIOS They are not fully optimized, something that is being fixed with the latest updates. Either way, it is a serious problem for those who opt for Ryzen and want powerful RAM.


How does this affect my budget?


Let's say we have a budget of € 1000 to set up the equipment. We want good RAM memories, from a recognized brand and we opted for the Kingston HyperX Fury 16GB @ 2400MHz for € 145 and as SSD we opted for the Corsair Force LE 240GB for € 93. Only these two crucial components take almost 25% (€ 238) of our budget, while a few months ago they would have accounted for 13.4% (€ 134), a very important difference that would leave us room for a good chassis or a good heatsink. , for a somewhat better graphics card or a more powerful processor.


Conclusion


If we have a computer that is three years old or older or before Intel made the jump to DDR4 RAM, we will not be able to save at this point. Possibly you have an SSD and you can use it in the new equipment, something that will be very positive to save a little. It is the only solution we can give, since things do not look like it will improve in the coming months. According to the data, the price should, in the best of cases, stabilize, because improving seems difficult at the moment.

We would like to say that this will change and that they will go down little by little, but that will not be the case. We are so focused on the news from AMD, Intel and NVIDIA, that we are not realizing that four brands agree on prices to earn money at the expense of users, who see how their new equipment is 'worse' than they should, due to the price increase that as we see, does not make sense and justification. Everything indicates that they produce less for profit interest, without more, something that is quite regrettable and abusive.

  1. Good afternoon, some time ago I saw a manufacturer of Ram memory in the Pccomponentes store, the brand itself is called Avexir. I have been looking for information, but I did not find much about this brand, and what little I did find, were things of little importance. The thing is that I find it interesting to see how these memories are 10 euros below the average. An example would be the Avexir Core DDR4 2133 PC4-17000 8GB CL15 Red LED RAM with a price of 57,95 euros, which also has a lifetime warranty and 8Gb of memory at 2133 Mhz. I know it makes no sense to ask this, but I say this, because your article called me the attention, and I would like to know your opinion or that of your readers. a greeting

    1. It is not a bad brand, they offer good performance and usually have a very interesting price adjustment. They may be a pretty good solution, but we haven't tested this particular brand.

    2. They are very good ram as long as you do not use ryzen since they depend a lot on the XPS from outside and that you do not want to ocean them they are very good

      1. The thing is that I want to build a new pc with a ryzen 3 o5 (or with a kaby lake), I know that in the first case, I would have to buy memories with more mhz, but I do not understand that last thing about XPS (could you explain to me that It is, and in which part of the specifications of the RAMs should I look?, that is, in what should I look at when reading the description of said components?). a greeting

        1. Regarding the characteristics of any component and compatibility, you always have to look at the product specifications on the manufacturer's page and there look at your specific model.
          http://www.avexir.com/product/corespec-ddr4.html
          In theory and without going into technical details, all memories should run in ryzen.
          P.S. avexir page does not give me much confidence. Latest news from a year ago and I can't find the QVL anywhere. Investigate, is the only thing I can tell you.

          1. Thank you very much for your comment. I just read the review, and I see it from the pile (quite a good thing, since it is cheaper compared to other brands and also performs almost the same as the others). As for the frequencies, I will catch a 2133 hz, since I have seen videos and reviews where the memories with more hz could cause problems such as not turning on the computer or not detecting them (in ryzen). also, recently, an English youtuber ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_Yt4vSZKVk&t=474s ) shows that ram speeds increase performance by less than 2-3%, so I prefer to go for a cheap one and invest in cpu, gpu, hhd or power supply with a higher certificate.

          2. There is no reason, Guillermo, as you say, I think that some motherboards have problems with x Mhz memories. It is assumed that they are solving it with new bios, but about ryzen and memories I have read a little of everything and almost nothing good.
            And about the performance of memories with different speeds ... There is where it is not noticeable at all, where that three percent is noticed and who says in some that percentage increases ... I was not very clear when I was looking for memory for my i7. Enjoy your ryzen very much, Guillermo.

          3. Well, there are still about 2-3 months to have the computer, but come on, I will enjoy it very much since I now have an a10 7800. But the thing is that you just reminded me of one thing, and that is the updates of the bios. My question is: I have heard that if your computer shuts down while updating the bios, you can run the risk of losing the bios and end up with a motherboard that will only be for decoration. That's right? How long does it usually take to update the bios? Where is the bios usually made from, from the desktop or from the bios itself?

          4. Well, your current computer isn't too bad either. A year ago I was still "playing" with a q6600 + 7790. The days of splendor of the processor were already far behind and the graphics card was, if I'm wrong, I don't think I remember the most "powerful" thing that could be attached to it to avoid bottlenecks. And that having it with oc to the bars.
            About the bios, I recommend you do it from the bios itself. You download the last bios corresponding to your motherboard (normally a .zip), you unzip it into a usb, start with the connected one, enter the bios and look for the option that allows you to update the bios. He will ask you where the bios is, you indicate it and the process will begin, which usually does not take more than one or two minutes, at most. Before updating, I recommend you leave your bios with the default options.
            Today even low-end boards have a tool from the bios itself to rebuild the bios in case an update does not go well. The more you go up in price, the more options they usually have for it. Do not worry, it is a very simple process and that today it does not represent any problem, I would tell you that even if the power even goes out, updating the bios today is not critical, even and that due to real bad luck it leaves light at that time.

          5. hello again, (without being so heavy) before I was looking at internet stores (reliable) to see where I could find some components at the best price, and it turns out that I just found this memory ram: https://www.alternate.es/Intenso/5641160-Memoria-RAM/html/product/1299889? The thing is that I have tried to look for information, but I have not found much, except for some video of a budget in German in which they use a memory from the same manufacturer. As you will see, it is very cheap compared to the other RAM memories, and this is about 8 euros cheaper compared to the avexir that I told you days ago, the thing is that it seems so good, that it seems somewhat strange. Have you ever heard this brand?

            the ram memory comes out in minute 1, and the link to a German website appears in the description.

            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lZI46HoVw0

          6. Good night Guillermo. You are not heavy at all, I like to mess around and help. I tell you, before going to the link of the store, I sounded intense memories and recordable cds and dvds. I have confirmed it on your page. My advice is to stop experimenting with soda. Although they are somewhat more expensive, I leave you a link to some Kingston value ram memories that surely do not give you any problem:
            https://www.pccomponentes.com/kingston-valueram-ddr4-2133-pc4-17000-8gb-cl15
            I have used them with my q6600 (ddr2) and like champions, they never gave me a problem and even accepted a modest oc.
            They are 11 euros more expensive, but I suppose that by looking you can find them cheaper.
            What will be the main use of your computer? What approximate budget did you have in mind? Can I want to take advantage of components of your old pc?
            I know you have it three or four months away, but that data would help. You have chosen a bad time to renew your pc, due to the rise in memory prices. And almost any main component in a pc incorporates it, Processor: L1, L2, L3. Graph. SSD hard drive (controller and storage cells), memories, of course. Anyway ... I'm sorry I can't help you anymore, Guillermo. With the first Chinese with LEDs ... I would still play them, I read that they made for corsair and others ... but with the intense ones ... well ... I'm quite reluctant.

          7. Well, to start with, I have a budget of 400-500 euros in mind, reusing very few things (tower, CD reader, a hard drive formatted from a laptop that I have at home (320gb), which I will use until I can buy a Seagate 1tb and use the other as a secondary disk, thus having 1320gb, 2 sagas cables (I know that you already have data cables with little base, but this way I will have 2 more cables in case they flies) and a graphic that I have at home from a computer that my father had (GT 745) which I will use until I can buy an rx 560 or an rx 470/570 (depending on the price.

            As for components, I will buy:

            CPU: AMD r5 1400 / 1500x (depending on the budget, I also know that if you do OC to 1400 [which I don't know how to do, but with the help of forums and san google, I can do it] it gets on par with the 1500x saving € 30 ( I'm not ruling out a ryzen 6n12h either.) Plus I'm waiting to see what intel does.

            Motherboard: the cheapest, at the moment the cheapest is in coolmod for about € 77 plus € 4,5 shipping

            RAM memory: the one you told me.

            PSU: a corsair vs 450/550/650 (depending on the graphics you buy, the 450 being for the rx 560, and the others for the rx 470/570)

            OS: I downloaded windows 10 from the official website, but it is not activated (it works perfectly, but it has some things covered, like the wallpaper and a watermark appears that says "active windows"

            In summary, the price of the computer will be around € 470-500 (not counting the graphics, which will come later), but if I wait a few more months, I can buy better components

          8. Good night, Guillermo, at least for me. By the way, where are you from? Excuse me if I didn't answer you, I was working all day and as icing on the cake here in Spain there was a derby… Real Madrid-Barcelona… you can imagine what I did after finishing work, hahaha. I tell you.
            I think your choice of processor is perfect. That if, I would try to stretch towards more nuclei as you say. It will perform great in applications (and games). Of course, I would try to stretch to 1600. Without x. If you are going to buy a board of that price, I imagine you will be looking at the A320 and B350 chipsets. Before buying any of them, assess whether those chipsets will provide you with interesting features in the future (nvme, for example). If you want to do oc, you need yes or yes a B350 chipset. The A320 does not support oc. That is why I recommend you if you can the 1600 to dry if you opt for the A320. Don't waste your money on a 650 PSU. It's silly. I would tell you that with a certified 500 you have plenty. Even 450 from a recognized and certified manufacturer. I attach an image of consumption according to techpowerup's review with a 1080:
            https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/2a82bf7bd8412076fe8e1cfe8f2655e06490ef71769e2c7a5907f3e216cd161a.png
            I attach another page to calculate Watts necessary for a given configuration. It is not 100% reliable but it makes you realize if you are more or less on track:
            http://outervision.com/power-supply-calculator
            As little as you can, take the step to an ssd, even if it is small (256 GB) and only for the main system and applications. When you try them out, you never want to hear about a traditional hard drive again.
            By the way, keep in mind that if your hard drives are sata II, no matter how much the on-board connectors are sata III, the transfer speed will be the maximum that the hard drive can support. Although I imagine in your case this will already be sata III.
            On Windows and imagining although little, you will play something ... better to have it even if it does not allow the desktop background to change, better that than using wine, I imagine.
            Sorry for the delay, if you have any further questions.

          9. Well, I'm from Spain just like you (I think) and I already found out about the party from my neighbors. As for the processor I think you are right, in addition 2n / 4h can extend the life of the processor. Also, knowing now about the PSU, I could buy a 400-450 and the € 10 difference to put them in the processor. On the other hand, I have no idea about motherboards, I know the basics of chipsets, PCI, etc ... But I have no idea about overclocking, could you stop me on a link where they explain how to overclock and make it simple and easy to do? catch? I am indifferent if it is in English.

          10. Wow, sorry about your neighbors especially if you are not a follower of any of them. Yes, I'm also Spanish, from Barcelona specifically. Let's see, as I understand there are three different chipsets for am4. 320, 350 and 370. The more sugar, the sweeter we say around here in Barcelona. In other words, the more options, the more expensive the motherboard is. Basically, the main differences between them are detailed here:
            https://hardwaresfera.com/review-amd-ryzen-5-1400-de-cuatro-nucleos-y-ocho-hilos-de-procesamiento/8/Quédate with the summary table that is almost at the end of the article. If you are going to do or do you need the 350. About prices ... no idea. But google is your friend. Some examples:
            https://www.asus.com/es/Motherboards/AMD-platform-Products/
            https://es.msi.com/search/am4/product/1
            http://www.asrock.com/mb/index.us.asp#AM4
            I give you three motherboard manufacturers so as not to mess up too much. Remember, if you want to do oc, please choose the b350 chipset. I particularly do not like the mini or micro atx formats, sometimes the space for plugging in components and cables is limited. Besides, they tend to dissipate worse and you cannot always puncture the heatsink that you would like.
            About oc ... for example. The link shows about a 1700 but I imagine it will not be a very different process over a 1500 or 1600:
            http://www.overclockers.com/amd-ryzen-overclocking-guide/
            oc videos:
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B4BuyLW66Ao
            https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3zg-LfxkN4
            Keep in mind with the oc it is necessary to touch voltages and that makes the micro temperatures higher than their stock speed. You need a good heatsink… I don't know how much stock included with ryzen could be worth.
            In oc to memories I do not get involved, since you have chosen about 2133.
            I hope the links help you, Guillermo.

          11. Well, apparently the cheapest boards I saw and just saw are from the b350 chipset. As far as overclocking is concerned, I think I will opt for a r5 1600 and I will be 2 years with a guarantee with the stock frequencies, and once those years have passed, I will see if it is worth overclocking, or keep waiting until the processor it starts to fall short. On the other hand, the first impression that I have taken with the overclocking videos is very bad, let me explain, it seems very complicated to me (surely this summer when I finish selectivity, I will start to see overclok things, and it will surely be silly) , but until then I will not get to the topic of OC. Also, I am not at all familiar with the BIOS interface (sometimes I have gone into mine to change the priority of the hard drives, so that I can install and test the laptop's hard drive, previously mentioned), but also, I have to add that my computer is a generic one of the large surfaces, which my father gave me, so four cats appear in the BIOS and with a nefarious presentation in which I get lost.

            But come on, sooner or later I will end up messing with the processor and the BIOS, and if not, I will practice with my current computer (which or one of two, or I recycle it to set up a PC project for my father, recycling ram, hard disk, etc ... or I will use it as a hard disk-computer). Also, rest assured that when I mount my new computer, I will inform you of it, and if that I will even give you images of it via these comments.

            Now, changing the subject, what do you think of the new filtration of the new Intel processors? Would it be worth waiting to see if they are worth it? since if its single-wire power is higher than that of Ryzen, imagine the 6 cores together (despite not having 12 wires, as if they have the r5)

            https://hardwaresfera.com/se-filtran-los-primeros-datos-los-procesadores-intel-coffee-lake/

          12. Do not worry, the bios (well today it is called uefi, it is the same but it is not the same) is like everything. In fact, doing oc (speaking of Intel, which is what I know, has been simplified a lot. In the days of the lga 775 it was much more arduous. Memory dividers, micro multiplier, fsb, according to your objective you had to buy x MHz memories or others ... nowadays it is to touch voltages, multiplier and that's it. I don't believe in ryzen the shots go elsewhere. It's all a matter of practice and get scared when you spend a lot of oc due to voltage or frequencies and the computer does not turn on you Formerly ... you removed battery, power cable and ale. And earlier ... you removed battery ... clear cmos for jumpers and to fly.
            I in the bios of my asus the truth is that there are many options that I don't even think about. It is best to read the manual but in many cases you stay the same. It's like everything, getting used to messing around and in the end the two, three, four things you need to modify to do or you know them by heart.
            Let's see, you know how this world of components is. There is always something in sight for a month, six or a year from now. I .. I speak for myself… I changed my pc to a year in view of the departure of ryzen. I wanted to play well and for years and I wanted to do it now. For me the choice I made a year ago was the correct one. And I emphasize, for me. Whatever each one does with their money, which is theirs for that. Ryzen convinces you, go ahead and enjoy it for many years. If you wait to see what is new from Intel, whatever it is ... then ryzen + will appear on the horizon ... and so on to infinity.
            I would love to see the images of your new pc. I know the illusion of having a new machine with which to be able to work and play without a point of comparison with what one had previously.
            Anyway, Guillermo, what I said, you will teach me. Will you mount it?

          13. Indeed, I plan to build the computer together with my father and a friend (who wants to learn the basics of the computer). But the one who has the most idea is my father, who has been messing around with computers for many years. What's more, right now he has 2 computers, one "good" and one that he got from a clean point which uses ATA hard drives (and from time to time he improves it with hard drives that he finds, and the things he doesn't want anymore like fans, cables, etc… he gives them to me so I can get familiar with everything) and he is one of the people who got me hooked on computers less than a year ago, and he will be present at the assembly to see what current computers are like and to help me with the issue of operating system and final configuration.

            On the other hand, I plan to do another project with a raspberry pi, since when I opened the laptop, I took several things out of it, and a week ago I saw that the LCD screen (I think that's what it's called) could be used together with a raspberry, through a universal display board (I have already seen the serial number, and initially it would be compatible with the screen) thus having a "portable" with a consumption of 5v (raspberry) and about 12v the screen. Also, I will make a custom case this summer/winter for the laptop. Mainly I plan to use it to surf the internet, watch news, etc... And finally, I also have the other project of building a computer for my father (reusing all possible parts) which I will build with my father. If you are interested in the raspberry project, I can pass you the videos and links from amazon where everything you need appears.

          14. The truth is that about raspberry I have no idea how it works. Yes, I know what it is, I have read about it ... but I have not delved into it. From what I read, you are a handyman ... raspberry, laptop box, gadget together with your father ... I'm leaving it, I don't know how to say no and then people don't even thank you. Cacharreo with mine and that's it.
            Well, if you don't mind passing me information about the raspberry, I'm delighted ... so I start to understand the one with those little plates. Thanks Guillermo.

          15. Well, I wouldn't consider myself a handyman, the thing is that since I got into the world of computers, I haven't stopped reading computer magazines, watching videos, etc... As for the raspberry, here are the links to a video of how to connect the raspberry to a screen of an "old" / broken laptop

            And now I leave you the list of the links in amazon of the components (keep in mind, that the controller has to be compatible with the screen. You only need to look for the serial number of this, and have a free afternoon to search for san google) .

            SD: https://www.amazon.es/SanDisk-Ultra-microSDHC-adaptador-velocidad/dp/B013UDL5RU/ref=sr_1_4?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1492972231&sr=1-4&keywords=sd

            raspberry plug / charge / cooling: https://www.amazon.es/dp/B01NAJ23B3/ref=pd_cp_147_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=2FEEJVBGCF7ZFPX0KX7D

            raspberries: https://www.amazon.es/Raspberry-Pi-Modelo-Quad-core-Cortex-A53/dp/B01CD5VC92/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1492971741&sr=8-3&keywords=raspberry

            Video controller (in my case it would be this): https://www.amazon.es/dp/B06XKVTKDH/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1492974311&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=n154i3+lcd+controler

            As of today, it would cost a total of: 99,42 euros (you could reduce costs if you do not buy a plug / charge / refrigeration of the raspberry, staying at 84,43)

          16. And regarding the use, I will use it to play a strategy game (which means that they are more CPU dependent) like any Paradox game or the total dar saga, and finally, I will use it for heavy work of the university, which I start this year (if those of the government do not touch anything more than selectivity) and study applied statistics, in which I will have to use programs to program statistics, estimates, etc.

        2. it is the automatic overclock if the memories are 3200 with xps its real speed is usually 2100

    3. I leave you a link with a review. they are not yours, these go to 2400, but I imagine you can extrapolate results. I think they are quite good according to the review. I don't like the design of the aluminum heatsink, but the red LED gives it a "gaming" touch. As they tell you, check compatibility with ryzen. About the lifetime guarantee, someone correct me, but I think the main manufacturers also offer it. CL correct for the price they have.

  2. I bought 8 modules of trident z ddr4 a while ago and now here in Mexico they are almost double when I bought them they cost me each pack of 4 in 3200 now they are in 5 or 6

  3. a real nonsense. This same pack cost me 64 euros a year ago (consulted on the purchase invoice) in the same store. Now it is in that store for 104 euros. I do not put store links so as not to advertise free to anyone. I cut and paste the one from Kingston to show what memory it is:

    This ssd cost me 67 euros a year ago, also consulted on the purchase invoice. Today in the same store is at 103 euros:

    I put the links of the manufacturers not to advertise or because I believe it is something that someone has to buy. If not to have an objective scale and something tangible about what I am writing. Sorry if I do not put an invoice ... but if someone is interested in seeing it, make up it and without problems.
    I do not know if they agree on prices, if the new manufacturing nodes are a fiasco, if it is due to a shortage of memories, if they want to get rich at our expense ... but that in two components the joke goes to 80 euros more a year later … Is food for thought and nothing good. Then they talk about Intel and its prices.
