Data centers are now hoarding SSDs as hard drive supplies dry up - Lemmy NZ

>According to Taiwan tech publication DigiTimes, most AI firms are unwilling to wait two years for HDD supplies to stabilize and are shifting to SSDs instead. To contain costs, they are choosing QLC NAND-based drives over the faster, more durable, and more expensive TLC variants.

“Why does the population hate us? We’re only completely destroying the consumer electronics market, accelerating climate change, aiming to eliminate countless jobs, increasing power costs, and stealing the works of millions of people to feed our system all so we can get even more obscenely wealthy? Please clap.”

Didn’t forget draining all their drinking water. Violating everyone’s copyright. Driving teens to suicide. Giving terrible medical advice. And Generating csam.

I, for one, applaud anything that helps destroy the current Intellectual Property system,

Not the other things, though.

Agreed.

One single potentially good thing in the middle of bad things still adds to something bad.

My point is that this shit is happening either way no matter how shit it all is, so if we can recognize and extract one good thing out of it at least on the other side we’ll have one good thing, whilst if we don’t, we’ll have nothing good at all.
