Have skyrocketed !!x!!x

19 months ago, I bought this fast 256gb micro sd for $21 (205mb/s read & 150mb/s write)
Was a good price and put it on my shelf, still unopened.

Now the cheapest I'v seen today is $79
Staples has it for $129.99

= $80 is a 400% increase
= $130 is nearly 650% increase

went through my computer parts, found three new/unopened M.2 drives, bought them all years ago.

Samsung 980Pro 2TB
WD 850X 2TB
WD 850X 1TB

Looking at the current prices, those three are now valued totaling from $1010 ~ $1148 = that's just for some backup storage!!
... .. and I have some new high quality RAM (low latency)
