Potential memory card shortage and significant price increases in 2026.

From the article:
This isn’t industry rumor – it’s coming straight from the supply chain.

Here’s the math: A 128GB SD card that cost $25-30 in early 2025 could approach $50-60 by mid-2026.

A 512GB CFexpress Type B card currently running $200-250? Potentially $400-500.

Those 1TB portable SSDs we use for field backup? Double what we pay today.
