From the post:

>The computing market is absolutely ablaze with AI-driven growth. Regardless of how sustainable it might be, companies are spending untold amounts of wealth on hardware, with most headlines revolving around GPUs. But the storage market is also under pressure, especially hard drive vendors who purportedly haven't done much to increase manufacturing capacity in a decade. TrendForce says lead times for high-capacity "nearline" hard drives have ballooned to over 52 weeks — more than a full year.

Yeah, I feel like a moron for not realizing it sooner. I wanted to increase the storage in my NAS but depending on prices I might have to put it off for a little while.

It would have been a GREAT time to invest in some stocks too though.

Time will tell.
