What is Chia? What is Crypto? Using Your NAS to Mine and HDD/SSD Shortages - IN PLAIN ENGLISH!

Why Are there Hardware Shortages and Price Increases in Hard Drives, SSD and NAS? https://nascompares.com/2021/04/23/nas-hard-drive-ssd-shortages-in-2021-why-how-where-and-when/

Where has all the stock gone and why is everything suddenly more expensive? This is the question that lots of users who are are getting ready to purchase or upgrade their data storage solutions in 2021 are asking. From hard drives to SSD, from NAS to DAS, availability and lead times on even arguably mundane areas of storage have begun to thin out considerably, whilst the price tag on most of this hardware has started to noticeably rise. It would be remarkably easy to just point a finger at the pandemic and say that's why it's happening and indeed the global pandemic that still continues to varying degrees has played a part, but there are other key reasons for hardware shortages in storage technology right now. These range from environmental to economical, and even social-political reasons too, all of which are now being felt by the consumer in a big, BIG way. So today I wanted to go through each of the biggest impacting reasons for these hardware and chip-centered shortages and why we are going to continue to feel this pinch until 2022 and maybe 2023.
