1tb ssd prices have dropped 50% in one year
Table of contents:
1TB SSDs were a utopia due to their high costs per GB, which made them unfeasible for the majority of the public, who prefer to bet on smaller 120 or 240 GB drives. During the year 2019, this is changing, due to the fall in costs.
1TB SSD prices are down 50% from 2018
1TB SSDs could become a new standard for desktops in 2019 as drive prices have fallen 50% from the same period in 2018, according to DigiTimes . A 1TB SATA SSD with the 2.5-inch form factor can now be purchased for as little as $ 99, while the fastest NVMe drives in the M.2 format start at around $ 130. In early 2018, 1TB SATA SSDs used to cost over $ 160, and NVMe-type drives were over $ 200. Following this trend, by the end of this year and the beginning of next, we could see 1TB units for around 60 dollars or euros approximately.
The drop in solid state unit prices is accelerating with cost-effective 96-layer 3D NAND flash technology, higher-density QLC NAND flash technology, undigested inventories of units based on older technologies, such as NAND flash 64-layer or TLC; and a sequential quarterly drop of 15% in NAND flash technology prices in the industry. All this cocktail makes us see SSD drives with increasingly juicy prices.
If nothing happens in the next few months, it may be an ideal time to start dispensing with hard drives and definitely move into the era of SSD storage drives. What do you think?
