nobody want them.
so they'll drive the price up to make it look like they're premium.
but rlly they're worthless at such expensive fucking rates

SSDs in general are going up in price. Samsung's 850 evos used to be a lot cheaper in 2014/2015 compared to now due to low stock+high demand, and THEN after the 850 was already in the market did they come out with the objectively shitty 750 this year and raised the prices of the 850 hoping idiots would thing the 850 came out after the 750.

Also >>57926956 this guy gets it. Manufactures price gouge like crazy all the time and some even get sued for creating artificial shortages by holding back on production at certain times of the year.

Other shit is still going down though.

I3 6100 is 20aud cheaper than the i3 4170 was.

>not already having your storage, including 5 year old HDD
Feels good to have impeccable caviar black, health still good

Also SATA express use that if you want faster SSD

then explain apple

True. That is how marketing and sales works.

Ever notice how in the supermarket they will almost always have at least three versions of the same item (ketchup for the sake of the example).
Cheap ketchup, expensive ketchup and one priced in between? Most customers will avoid the cheapest thinking it is crap and also steer clear of the expensive 'exclusive' one because they want to save money hence they go for the perceived middle-ground.
Thing is, often the medium-priced one will cost the same buying engross as the cheap as fuck one.

Apple doesn't work the way you desperately want to believe it works. Each iteration the price hardly moves but the percieved value improves.

Taiwan is a dangerous place for DRAM/NAND-factories.
So many fires, such a shame.
