According to Duann, PC makers have to buy from SSD module makers because NAND vendors reduced allocation to the client/consumer PC market and redirected most NAND supply to data center products.
As a result, PC OEMs like Acer, Asus, Dell, and HP cannot get enough NAND or SSD supply directly from NAND manufacturers and have to turn to module makers for solid-state drives. The latter traditionally served end-users and had plenty of aftermarket products with enhanced performance and cooling, but now they increasingly serve PC makers instead.
Yeah also when has capitalism ever allowed the poors to benefit from the failures of the rich? Companies have been destroying inventory and throwing out food, in such abundance it makes me sick, for decades. Of course this isn’t a blanket statement, after the dot com pop you could buy multi thousand dollar office chairs for a few hundred, as well as good desks.
But overall, corporations love destroying shit instead of letting the commoners get even a little morsel of it.
