LaCie just increased prices in the US by around 9-12%



A few days ago, I purchased two external LaCie hard drives from B&H Photo for a project. I received the hard drives today and realized I need a third drive. I went back to the B&H website, and I was surprised to notice that prices have gone up significantly since I placed my order just a few days ago:

LaCie 4TB Rugged SSD Pro5 Thunderbolt 5 External SSD price from a few days ago:


LaCie 4TB Rugged SSD Pro5 Thunderbolt 5 External SSD price now (from $1,429 to $1,599, or around 12% up):


LaCie 5TB Rugged USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive price from a few days ago:


LaCie 5TB Rugged USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 External Hard Drive price now (from $219.99 to $239.99, or around 9% up):

If you are planning to buy any kind of memory storage, I strongly suggest you do it asap before the next price increase kicks in. Amazon is pretty much out of stock on many popular storage devices, but I noticed that B&H Photo still has many in stock.

ProGrade and OWC already announced price increases – all other brands will follow soon:

OWC announced a memory card price increase, while B&H is running a sale on Lexar memory cards


After ProGrade, OWC also announced a new price increase on memory cards is coming on May 11 (check availability at B&H Photo and Amazon).

At the same time, B&H Photo started a big Lexar memory card sale today (check out this Lexar flash deal as well).

Memory prices are rising sharply due to a global shortage of NAND flash – the key material used in memory cards, SSDs, and similar storage devices. AI data centers are demanding huge amounts of specialized high-speed memory, so major chipmakers like Samsung and SK Hynix have shifted production away from regular consumer flash. This has driven costs up dramatically across the industry and is the main reason companies like ProGrade Digital are increasing prices on memory cards starting May 1st. I am sure other brands will follow.
