People are hoarding pen drives like they're gold bars and honestly they might be on to something. AI data centers are buying up memory chips faster than factories can shift. Someone bought a 1 terabyte SSD 6 months ago. That same drive cost nearly double today. Here's why. SK Hynix sold out its entire year production before the year even started. Micron shut down 29-year gone. All to serve data centers. One AI server consumes the same high-end memory that could have gone into dozens of smartphones. Memory is now the most expensive part of a phone. Nothing CEO Carl Pei said soaring memory prices, driven by AI data centre demand, have made RAM and storage the single costliest part of a phone. Dell and Lenovo are reportedly planning to downgrade SSD capacities in 2026. Not for better tech, just to control prices. So next time your phone costs more, don't blame inflation. Blame AI.
