# Memory prices have been rising steadily, and hard drive prices are also increasing

In Huaqiangbei, known as "China's No. 1 Electronics Street," gaming enthusiast Xu Shaoan recently planned to play a AAA game and intended to upgrade his computer. He found that a 32GB DDR5 memory kit has now risen to nearly 4,000 yuan, three to four times more expensive than last year. Therefore, he decided to lower the configuration and switch to a 24GB setup, planning to upgrade later when prices drop. A reporter's investigation revealed that in addition to the rising memory prices, hard drive prices have also surged. For example, a certain 1TB solid-state drive has now increased to over 900 yuan. Many computer assembly vendors indicated that the prices of components and complete machines are currently high, leading many customers to choose to wait. The reporter's statistics showed that compared to last year, the price increase for mainstream storage products has exceeded 100%. Among them: a 1TB solid-state drive was 410 yuan last year, now 950 yuan, an increase of 132%; a 16GB DDR5 memory was 450 yuan last year, now 1,800 yuan, an increase of 300%; a 32GB DDR5 memory was 900 yuan last year, now 3,800 yuan, an increase of 322%
