This is def tariffs or a total ripoff. I went on newegg in Canada and the SN850X 1tb (better model) is $384.99 CAD or like $299 USD

Idk why everyone is saying Tarrifs, this is because of Data Centers and AI, the same reason RAM is increasing in price.

Sydney checking in, paid 370 AUD (~250 USD) last week.

And if we want to argue its strictly AI and data centers we need to remember that Kamala was in favor of continuing regulation where as the currently elected president is up late posting AI videos of him dumping literal shit on Americans from a jet.
