Also your reputation. I had a Crucial SSD and was days from getting an identical one as a backup but then they said they were stopping consumer RAM sales so they're now on my blacklist.

    Question is, though, who now isn't on your blacklist?

    Samsung and SK Hynix never sold to consumers directly, yet seem to be avoiding flak. Micron is now joining them in that.

    Who do you get that isn't that three? Almost all RAM on the market is Samsung, SK Hynix, or Micron.

    On top of that, Samsung and SK Hynix were the ones that signed the OpenAI deal (OpenAI bought 40% of the world's DRAM supply and kicked off panic buying), so tbh Micron is the least responsible for the current DRAM market issues.
