No malicious business decisions involved here.

Source: SSD prices predicted to skyrocket throughout 2024 — TrendForce market report projects a 50% price hike

Samsung has decreased its output by 50% since September, though the market has already seen price bumps due to inventory being cleared out.

Intentionally induced shortages should be illegal.

Where does Samsung get their chips made anyway? Sure would hate for some homebrewers to find a way to make ssds out of mouser or digikey parts when prices hike back up to $1 per GB. Would be a shame for corporate profits indeed.
