"In keeping with the spirit of times, Micron on Wednesday announced plans to wind down its Crucial consumer business worldwide by the end of February 2026. The company is reallocating its output and investments to enterprise-grade DRAM and SSD products amid growing demand from the AI sector."

That's a shame. I usually spec'd Micron DRAM or SATA SSDs for upgrades to my computers.

I too will miss SATA SSDs.

I'm glad i built my pc when i did. I just looked at ram prices and just about had a stroke now to from what i paid . shocking that GPUS and NVME drives haven't skyrocketed yet though give it time i am sure they will also. one of my ram kits tripled in price . one more reason to hate AI..
