Oh boy, Looks like SSD Prices may spike!! Hindi pa nga tapos ang kalbaryo sa GPU prices, posible namang sumunod na magspike ang price ng SSD ngayon!!
Western Digital says it has lost at least 6.5 exabytes (6.5 billion gigabytes) of flash storage due to contamination issues at its NAND production facilities.
