I read it may effect SSD's more as that factory had shifted to NAND production...

If I remember correctly it not quite as bad as we might think. 15% spike in prices. Strangely Hynix is being pretty tight lipped about it. Wonder what the press release and analyst will be posting?

Its not that bad! Hurray!

I read reports that prices have gone up with 20% over night.
