Overview
- Hobbyists inspecting Smarty.cz found source code entries listing 19,826 CZK (~$950) for a 512GB model and 22,305 CZK (~$1,070) for a 2TB model.
- The discovery was shared on Reddit by user chusskaptaan and subsequently reported by multiple outlets, including Wccftech.
- An X user, Hajedan, reported a similar pricing structure on Czech retailer Alza, offering informal corroboration without confirming final prices.
- Coverage stresses these are conversion-based estimates that may include retailer markups or placeholders; Tom’s Guide notes Smarty typically adds about 17%, implying roughly $814 for 512GB and $916 for 2TB if sold without that premium.
- Reporters tie the elevated figures to a tightening DRAM market pushing component costs higher, and official pricing is still pending ahead of an early-to-spring 2026 launch window.
