Hynix DRAM plant erupts in flames, entire industry affected | TweakTown
With Hynix down we are going to see a massive rise in RAM pricing like HDDs did during the flooding. If you are building, or on the edge of purchasing more DDR3, I suggest you do it now. Other flash based devices will see a slight increase, but not as much as RAM will since it was already on the rise. This just gives the competition (Elpida and Samsung) an excuse to raise prices.
