With the way that memory prices are going, Valve is going to bring back the 64GB model.

I got the 64gb intentionally to just put in a 512gb myself. Was no problem to do, and saved quite a bit on the price difference. I'm extremely happy with the device, but don't use it nearly enough.

I dropped in a 2Tb when prices were still good.

[–] ouRKaoS@lemmy.today 2 points 3 days ago

Same. I caught a black Friday deal years back & got a 2Tb for less than $150

[–] hereiamagain@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Same. SO is on 512gb, plenty big for them, depends on what you need I guess. I wanted to never think about it again

Honestly, that’s probably why they are consolidating manufacturing around less SKUs.

Everything sucks.

SSDs are being affected too. Not as much, and I forget why exactly, maybe because it's all silicon and shares some manufacturing resources? 🤷‍♂️

Samsung is halting consumer SSD production.

[–] LeeNeighoff@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

Just for SATA I think

That'll do something alright
