What an SSD Warranty Actually Refunds in a Shortage

Amber chart drawn to scale: a 4TB portable SSD's street price climbing from its $199.99 invoice to the above-$500 listing reported in August 2026, with a dashed reference line on the same scale at the $199.99 the warranty refund pays and a bracket marking the gap between them. Headline reads SSD warranty refunds, $200 back, $500+ to replace.

A failed drive is now settled by a clause most buyers never read, YMTC wants the NAND crown by 2027, and Samsung's new Odyssey OLEDs change subpixels rather than headline numbers.
