Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open
ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 2 weeks agoNot by the outlook at how cheap a 2tb drive would have cost by now if AI data centers didn’t fuck it up. A 2TB nvme drive 3 years ago was ander $110.

Versus around $300 now, so that would theoretically only represent a $200 price difference.

We’re getting down to a workable $800 pricepoint. You forgot to deduct the ram and other components that have also been vastly inflated, or taken into account that by all typical logic before the ai shit storm was that if a 2tb drive was $120 three years ago, by now it should have been about $75. Same for the ram having a price decline.

Not really, since the starting point for the 2 TB model is $1,349.
