Apparently WD and Seagate stock have already taken a hit at the announcement.

When my 4 TB drive died ~15 years ago I thought to myself I'd just wait a few months and replace it with 8 TB for the same price. Then the floods happened.

Then prices almost were finally at that level again. And then AI started gobbling everything up.

IIRC storage started rapidly rising even before AI, due to those stupid proof-of-storage cryptos.
