This is also for storage devices like SSD. Without RAM memory in stock the prices have sky ricocheted. Raspberry, for example, announced that all Raspberry Pi plates prices will rise. At the beginning of 2025 a DDR5 64 GB module costed 400 dollars in United States and now it\u2019s 1000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/Crucial-closes-Artificial-Intelligence-1024x768.webp\" alt=\"Crucial stops manufacturing RAM and SSD modules\" class=\"wp-image-177036\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Crucial says goodbye because of Artificial Intelligence<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every technological device carries a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.islabit.com\/en\/172566\/chrome-trick-if-your-ram-memory-fails.html\">RAM module<\/a> as well as a storage one. From mobile phones to tablets, PC or video game consoles. It\u2019s normal to start seeing a rise in prices in 2026. If you need to buy something, probably it\u2019s a good idea to do it now before the new prices arrive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>After 29 years, Crucial closes<\/strong> and the SSD and RAM market receives terrible news. It was one of the best brands in terms of price and quality for SSD devices and RAM modules. Although the power wasn\u2019t top, the prices were really &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; affordable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because of the growth impulse by Artificial Intelligence on data centers, the demand for memory devices and memory has grown accord to Sumit Sadana. The executive vicepresident and commercial director of Micron Technology stated it in a <a href=\"https:\/\/investors.micron.com\/news-releases\/news-release-details\/micron-announces-exit-crucial-consumer-business\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">press release<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Micron has taken the difficult decision<\/strong> to leave consumption market with Crucial to expand and improve suppor for strategic customers the AI segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The American company confirmed that they will send all the shipments up until February and also the customer support and guarantees. Crucial closure is a picture of hardware manufacturers segment reality today. The Artificial Intelligence market is more profitable than consumer products. Micron hopes to reduce production significantly in order to give full priority to AI memory modules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The immediate result of this decision is a <strong>lesser stock for SSD and RAM modules in 2026<\/strong>. The prices will rise and the market will probably adapt to a new reality with fewer options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, AI companies promise a better world where people won\u2019t even have to work. However, reality is pretty different. Working stations are being destroyed and web economy is also dying because of AI centered content creation. Online stores are also suffering because of shopping agents tactics. IN 2026 the price of technological devices will brutally rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After learning of Crucial closure, the <strong>SSD and RAM modules sector is on alert<\/strong>. The red flags are waving as Artificial Intelligence keeps evolving. Data centers require lots of RAM and storage devices and the price of a single consumer is not enough to cover for those levels of demand. Crucial was a big company and if they can\u2019t keep with the flow, it\u2019s almost sure that smaller companies will start closing too and the offer will diminish making devices more expensive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A worrysome news &nbsp;for computer hardware enthusiasts: Crucial company will disappear.
