I just checked SSD prices 512GB for €100
1TB nvme for €150-200+++

It's over men, keep what you got and get to the backlog of the now and retro. Anyone that pays a monthly sub for cloud GAYming gets shot until this absurdity's over.

If you don’t mind a slightly slower speed drives, there are cheap m2 SATA SSDs for low prices. For most games, those are fine.

yeah we are fucking done.
I moved 2tb wdsn850x from ps5 (I bought 2 years ago) to my pc (after painfully removing the heatsink) and was "lucky" enough to find 60$ wd sn7100 5gb gen4 just to use for system drive too. I had other drives but I wanted to upgrade to pci4.

But now it's more expensive. Ram and ssd drives are insane

ASRock don't care. That's why I switched to MSI. Never buying another ASRock product.

Think there have been 1-2 reports for MSI but ASRock has few daily on reddit.

No acknowledgement from ASRock or AMD. It's been happening on Asus a lot more but at least they issues statement saying they will try to find root cause.

All RAM production capacity until mid 2027 is already sold. It makes sense to delay. Laughing @ Steam Machines though.
