The 2026 Consumer SSD Market Outlook
Micron is exiting consumer SSDs entirely by February 2026, while SK hynix pulls back from retail markets. With AI data centers consuming all available NAND production and prices already up 123% since mid-2025, the storage market faces unprecedented consolidation. Learn what this means for PC builders, expected pricing changes through 2027, and why you should buy storage now before costs climb further.

Micron to exit SSD and Memory Market by 2026
Sad day for the DIY community. Micron announced today (Dec 3) that they are exiting the consumer market. No more Crucial SSDs or RAM after Feb 2026 as they pivot 100% to Data Center/AI. They confirmed warranties will still be honored, but stock is expected to dry up fast. If you were eyeing a T705 or cheap DDR5 kit, grab it now before prices hike. Full details in the release.

Trend Markers Added to Pricing
SSD prices are climbing rapidly, up 5-10%, and industry insiders say the days of bargain storage might be over—at least until 2026. Cloud giants and AI demand are devouring supply, leaving everyday upgraders in the cold. If your gaming rig or content workflow craves more space, pounce on Black Friday deals now—waiting for a price drop could be a fantasy. View announcement for the full story!

SABRENT PS5 Heatsink
Stuck trying to find the perfect gift for the PlayStation fanatic who already has everything? We've got the ultimate power-up they need: the SABRENT PS5 Heatsink (SAB-PS-5-HEATSINK) .
This thing solves the #1 headache every PS5 owner faces when they go to drop a blazing-fast M.2 SSD into their console's expansion slot: keeping that drive chill under pressure.
Forget those sketchy, cheap heatsinks that use flimsy clips or mess with thermal tape. Typically around $16-20, this heatsink is CNC-machined aluminum and designed to replace the PS5's stock expansion bay cover entirely . It basically becomes the heatsink, tapping straight into the console's existing fan airflow for elite-tier cooling .
The best part? Installation is a total breeze. Seriously, it's the rare tech gift that won't require a YouTube tutorial or trigger an existential crisis. Remove one screw, swap covers, and you're done in under five minutes.
Important note: Skip this if the SSD already has a pre-attached heatsink. But for bare M.2 drives or first-time PS5 storage upgrades, this gift delivers reliable thermal performance that prevents throttling during marathon gaming sessions. You also get a five-year warranty with registration and the peace of mind that their expensive SSD investment is properly protected. It's practical, affordable, and solves a real problem—exactly what stocking stuffers should be.
