RAM and HDD prices are jumping (2025)

Also stop checking prices at Amazon for computer parts. Go to a local PC shop or visit other sites.

@Navjot Singh Amazon does have a awful pricing on pc parts ,so far i have checked on md computers and prime abgb ,they are cheaper than amazon but still double than what the prices were just a couple of months ago

Since the beginning of 2025 i have been looking to increase my PC storage and i had eventually bought a 1tb nvme ssd for 5k back in may 2025 when the prices were still normal

even then, i had planned to buy a WD Ultrastar 10 TB data center drive for home and prosumer use as its cheaper per TB and costs significantly less than cloud backups of the same

and back in May 2025 it was costing 21-23k on md computers ,Prime abgb and Amazon

but now that same drive costs 30k


after digging for a while, I figured that i also can't find 1tb 3.5 inch HDDs any more
and the prices of 2tb HDD have increased by almost 50%

for example, the WD blue 2tb home HDD used to cost 6k in sept 2025 and has now risen to 9k

Try getting 2nd hand ones and hold out till the burst

i hope it does ,otherwise a lot of people will just quit PC altogether

if im supposed to pay Apple like prices for Ram then i might as well shift to Macbooks and game on PS5 or PS6 in future

even my friend agrees to do this in future if ram, GPU , CPU , storage prices keep increasing

 

[Kyle Crane]

i dont think thats a good idea at all ,a used drive can fail anytime

whats the point of a HDD if it just randomly fails someday

 

[Navjot Singh]

Buy 8gb ram per year. You will probably have 32 by the time GTA 6 comes out on PC.

4 TB WD blue used to cost 9k few months back. Now it costs around 13-14k. Aur use karo Chatgpt and perplexity.

35,000/2=17,500 per 16gb stick
