The cost of digital storage media, including SD cards and SSDs, has seen a massive increase due to the demand from AI data centers. A 256GB SD card that cost $74 in February 2024 now retails for over $200, while high-capacity hard drives have nearly doubled in price. The hosts advise listeners to purchase storage hardware well in advance of their needs to avoid "data center inflation."
