Watching the price of RAM and other tech memory components climb into the stratosphere faster than Artemis II is downright frustrating, because it feels like being the victim of a conspiracy. Inflation, tariffs, the insatiable demands of AI companies building new data centers, and the fighting in the Middle East spiking oil prices all join forces to make the price tags on memory for your computer or console spiral out of control. That’s all the more reason to jump and jump fast when you see a great deal on a top-flight internal SSD like the Samsung 990 EVO Plus.
