According to Duann, PC makers have to buy from SSD module makers because NAND vendors reduced allocation to the client/consumer PC market and redirected most NAND supply to data center products.
As a result, PC OEMs like Acer, Asus, Dell, and HP cannot get enough NAND or SSD supply directly from NAND manufacturers and have to turn to module makers for solid-state drives. The latter traditionally served end-users and had plenty of aftermarket products with enhanced performance and cooling, but now they increasingly serve PC makers instead.
The worst thing is, the format needed for data centres isn’t compatible with home use. A lot of the ram and SSDs will just be scrapped.
Yeah also when has capitalism ever allowed the poors to benefit from the failures of the rich? Companies have been destroying inventory and throwing out food, in such abundance it makes me sick, for decades. Of course this isn’t a blanket statement, after the dot com pop you could buy multi thousand dollar office chairs for a few hundred, as well as good desks.
But overall, corporations love destroying shit instead of letting the commoners get even a little morsel of it.
maybe we’ll have powerful (and loud) home servers in the future?
The problem is they end up built into specialised boards with ridiculous requirements, but no good for most tasks.
A few people might get one working, but I can’t afford the power bill to keep one running full tilt 24/7
Think about it like trying to use mining vehicles as a car.
