Episode 204: Storage Prices

Jeff Carlson & Kirk McElhearn — Sun, 01 Mar 2026 16:00:00 -0800

The prices of digital storage are set to climb this year because AI is eating up all the available inventory. And modern photography is entirely dependent on storage, whether it's the SD cards that store the captured images, the internal solid-state memory that stores data on your computer, or the external SSDs and traditional hard drives that keep your archive of photos.
