The price of ssd will rise in the coming weeks, do you know why?

The SSD was a real revolution for storage. We are dealing with units that are smaller (lighter) and faster. If you asked me if it is better to use SSD even if it is of smaller capacity, I would say with closed eyes that you did. Once you have it, you will not want to try anything else. But an issue that worries many users is that the price of SSDs will rise in the coming weeks. Today we want to tell you why.

More and more PCs are betting on the SSD. This demand has, as it is logical, the prices go down. But in the coming weeks they could go up… what's more, they will.

MLC NAND Flash memories have raised the price up to 10% in this last quarter of the year. FTAs are also increasing by a small percentage of between 6-9% prices. Which doesn't make much sense or if. Here are the reasons:

Reasons why the price of SSDs is rising

This is mainly due to 3 factors:

• The demand is increasing. Manufacturers are having problems in manufacturing 3D NAND memories. Those who do it well take advantage and raise prices (they know they are going to sell).

What should be the opposite is turning into a nightmare for users who want to currently put SSD on their computers. Perhaps what you should have done is take advantage of the succulent offers for Black Friday. However, Christmas is just around the corner, and we will surely find some discount. But seen what is seen is going to be complicated by these factors.

But watch out, because this price rise is still going to come

It is mainly estimated to take place between December 2016 and January-February 2017. At that time, we might find SSDs in proportion more expensive than now.

No, it is not good news.
