The PC component crisis isn't going away: retail market for SSDs has 'almost disappeared' we're told, and DDR5 RAM prices refuse to drop

SSD against a blue black background.
  • Nelson Duann, an exec in the SSD supply chain, has said: "The retail SSD market has almost disappeared"
  • DDR5 RAM prices refuse to drop, although older memory modules are easing in price, but only very slightly
  • System memory remains massively overpriced, and the same is true with many SSDs – and even hard drives are becoming more costly now

There's more news about the PC component crisis, in terms of SSDs – and how the retail market for drives is seemingly disappearing – and RAM pricing too, which is showing signs of easing a little in some respects, the notable catch being that this isn't the case with DDR5.
