It's A Digital Disease!

Looking to buy more storage and found this 2023 review of a 4tb m.2 retailing for "$200 (often less)" with a amazon affiliate link that now says the price is $259.99. https://www.pcgamer.com/lexar-nm790-4tb-ssd-review/

That's $65 a terabyte for ssd, but I'm looking at my 2023 amazon orders and I was paying half that, $33 a terabyte.

I'm just not use to prices of common PC components doubling, is there some kind of shortage causing this and prices will return to normal soon?

And for anyone blaming politics keep in mind all other PC components have dropped in price, ssd and m.2 are the only components that have increased significantly.
