The ssd units are very cheap and reach 10 cents per gb

It can be quite difficult to find bargains when it comes to DDR4 memory or high-end graphics cards these days, but when it comes to SSDs, you have surely noticed that they are at very low prices.

SSD drives are cheaper than ever and the trend is that they will continue to drop

This drop in prices on solid state drives has been going on throughout this year, and some drives have reached a cost of 10 cents (dollar) per GB, a milestone hard to imagine a couple of years ago. The 2TB variant of the Crucial MX500 SSD model, for example, can now be found for around $ 209.

This is great news for those who want to bet on this type of ultra-fast drives in the near future, and the best thing is that SSD drives will continue to drop in the coming months according to forecasts.

Could drop to $ 0.08 per GB in 2019

According to some technology analysts, the cost of NAND flash drives could drop to $ 0.08 per GB in 2019, and some alternatives, such as Samsung's QLC drives, could further fuel that trend. The traditional hard drive market is also getting cheaper and better, with a 2017 BackBlaze report showing, for example, how the cost per gigabyte (GB) was approaching $ 0.02 a year ago on some drives.

At least when it comes to storage, it seems that prices tend to go down, in contrast to other segments like graphics cards or some Intel processors.
