No, it was sheer laziness and hubris. AMD didn't have a better part, so Intel kept soaking us for everything it could get
HDD makers have been doing the same thing the last 9 years - culminating in this DM-SMR NAS/RAID drive fiasco - and they're about to see their SSD Waterloo as large capacity SSD is creeping ever-closer to their price point (enterprise SSD is as little as twice enterprise HDD pricing now)
Despite WD putting a brave face on it in the quarterly earnings report, WHO will reward the HDD makers for their past and ongoing bad behaviour by knowingly buying a SSD from them?
