Good that Toshiba saw the increase in demand as an opportunity to increase sales volume, rather than price gouge their customers. Hopefully they gain market share.
I’m pretty behind what I want for drives, and modern dev practices of storing tons of intermediate container build artifacts, and a resurgence of arrrborists will probably soak up drive demand even if prices fall.

There’s more competition in the storage market than RAM. Someone was going to do it, might as well be them.
IDK, it’s pretty risky. Doubling production means youre taking a bet that the bubble is not going to burst.
Hard disks will always have demand, we need more every day and they have a limited lifespan
Great point, quintuple production!
Ok, give me the money
??? I thought it was a risk free investment! You got this!
It may be risk-free, but you still need money to spend money. That’s what the asshats called ‘investors’ are for.
Should be an easy sell, someone on the internet found an infinite demand glitch!

That is a fair point, especially with things that are very hard to set production for like processors.
Why not both ™ ?
