Consumer vs NAND is an absolutely fair distinction to make, I'm not sure how to track those prices. My main issue the article saying "RAM prices are crashing" (which I can't find any evidence of) and linking to an article that doesn't even repeat that claim, it instead just speculates that maybe RAM will come down in price due to this new idea.

> In any case, I think it's pretty fair to speculate we may be seeing RAM prices start falling sooner rather than later.

I sure hope so. RAM, HDDs, and SSDs are all crazy-high right now and I was in the market for literally all 3 but have paused all my buying because I can't justify the costs as they stand today.

That's totally fair. The article is written in a very odd way where it makes a bunch of authoritative, factual-sounding claims and then throws a "this is all very speculative" line right at the end.

It's very interesting speculation, but can't really be considered anything more than that, despite the prose it chose.
