RAM prices have been surging for the past two months, but behind the scenes, prices on SSDs have silently crept up, as well. There's no better evidence of that than two 8TB drives on display at Micro Center. The 8TB WD_Black SN850X is listed at a suggested retail price of $2,418.99, while the PlayStation-branded SN850P is listed at $2,757.99.
The outrageous price tags were shared by @MMatt14 on X. Although we can't verify that Micro Center actually listed these prices, they line up with the suggested retail pricing on Micro Center's website. The good news is that Micro Center isn't actually selling these drives for above $2,000. The SN850X is available for $900 at 8TB, while the SN850P is available for $1,100, assuming you have a Micro Center close enough to pick up your SSD in person. This is likely an error in labeling from inside a Micro Center store.
