I've noticed RAM prices skyrocketing—last year I could get 32GB for AUD 170, and now it's up to AUD 640. I'm in desperate need of a new SSD, but I'm contemplating whether I should wait for prices to drop. I'm hoping to hear thoughts on whether prices for M.2 SSDs are expected to rise further or if waiting might be a bad idea.

SSD prices have already doubled recently and are expected to keep climbing. Just a heads up: if you see something you like, don't hesitate to grab it!
The prices have already jumped up, and it's too late to get the best deals. In Canada, many SSDs are already marked up by 50% or more. Low stock is a real issue too.
It’s insane in Canada! I feel like I paid more for RAM than my whole CPU, and it doesn't make sense.
Yeah, I checked and I can see prices in Australia are rising sharply as well.
Yes, SSD prices are already increasing significantly. If you really need one and can afford it, it's better to buy now instead of waiting.
Absolutely, buy it now if you need it!
Prices are definitely on the rise. For example, I bought a 2TB SSD last week for $230, but now it's $300. It’s a smart move to buy sooner.
Sounds like I should act fast; everyone's warning that prices will keep escalating.
Yes, it’s getting real out here. Mechanical drives are rising too because of demand from data centers. If you're looking for an SSD, I'd recommend getting it sooner rather than later. We might not see normal prices for a while.
Wow, Q1 2027 seems really far off. I feel bad for newcomers trying to build PCs right now.
Definitely seems like a tough time to break into PC building!
I'm getting into PC building now, and it’s frustrating!
