Bought an NVMe SSD because I had no other choice. Fucking hell that stung.
It was three times the price I would've paid six months ago.
@gsuberland yeah I'm very glad I don't have any immediate requirements for new hardware, and I've even got some old kit lying about that can be pressed into service in an emergency!

@raesene I priced up a new NAS the other day and the RAM alone would currently cost me almost five grand.

yeaaaahno

@gsuberland @raesene I was planning a server upgrade for some point this year. Bet even second-hand DDR4 will be vastly overpriced - I haven't dared to look.
@lunarloony @raesene from what I saw on eBay, second hand is currently not much of a saving. in some cases it's selling for more than the current retail price, I presume simply because retailers are implementing per-buyer limits (Scan won't let me buy more than 2 sticks of anything right now) whereas the eBay sellers aren't.
