6 exabytes of flash storage destroyed at a Japanese factory when power went out for 13 minutes is expected to cause a 'flash' increase in pricing

Edit: could be ok - might just be 2D NAND products

"Memory-focused analyst firm Trendforce says Toshiba is recovering “slower than expected” from the incident and said “The supply of 2D NAND Flash, which caters more toward specialty storage applications, will tighten up noticeably in the short term due to the power outage … Hence, TrendForce now expects some impetus for suppliers to raise quotes on 2D NAND products in 3Q19.”

But the firm said current inventories of other flash products should sustain the market without price rises."
