SK hynix runs out of replacement SSDs and defaults to original purchase price refunds — fine-print warranty clause shortchanges buyers as drive prices double

SK hynix SSDs.

However, with SSD prices soaring due to a global storage shortage, a refund like this would be insufficient to buy a comparable drive in today’s market.
