Crucial, one of the best brands making storage and memory products for gamers and PC builders, is being shut down by its parent company, all in the name of AI. This comes after 29 years of Crucial supplying consumers with some of the best RAM for gaming and some of the best SSDs for gaming available.
If you've been keeping up with the news of late, you'll know that RAM and SSDs are seeing an enormous pricing spike, which all comes down to AI data centers stealing up the world's supply of RAM wafers and NAND tech. This is projected to continue until the end of 2028, and while the majority of brands seem content to weather the storm, Micron is choosing to close its consumer arm down to focus on "faster-growing segments".
