Inb4 new tariffs.
Chinese RAM has CCP spyware, we're only allowed to buy pure American RAM made in, uh, Taiwan lol
*South Korea
With the ~~Taiwan~~ American RAM you can spy on them!
Sooo, do you know why in Taiwan?
as someone who self hosts, i will be buying like crazy. i used to just say "ehh , i'll get it later" - but right now, its hdd availability thats killing me. i am trying to build a nas and wd red plus drives are a week out, with cable guy times. So i have to make sure i will be around in a three day window.
But at what cost!?
Bold claim. I'll believe it when it happens
plz xi
It's a good first step, but I already know they will be fine with only 300% of previous prices. They aren't investing all this money to sell to the lowest bidder.
I mean we've seen how prices for Chinese solar and EVs dropped once production ramped up, I expect we'll see the same with memory and eventually chips too.
