Comment on Hard drives on backorder for two years as AI data centers trigger HDD shortage — delays forcing rapid transition to QLC SSDs
This mainly effects NAND, HDD should not be affected.
The QLC NAND shortage is created by the HDD shortage, per the article.
Okay your right, just read it they are switching to QLC NAND. Honestly I personally think normal people should switch to used drive cheaper and in stock.
Yes, I'm definitely buying used, but suspect that prices will be affected there, too.
