Nand memory price confirmed to continue to drop

Initially, it was believed that the reduction in the price of NAND memory would end in the second half of the year, but the new reports point to the demand for NAND memory experiencing less than expected growth in the second half of 2018, which will result in greater availability and lower prices.

DRAM Exchange confirms that the price of NAND memory will continue to drop in the second half of the year

A DRAM Exchange report has stated that NAND memory prices will continue to decline in the second half of this year, although manufacturers are also expected to defer their plans for capacity expansion to prevent memory prices from falling too quickly. If NAND prices drop, we should see SATA and NVMe SSDs drop further in price, especially when QLC-based SSDs begin to hit the market.

With this, this second half of the year 2018 will be an excellent opportunity to get a large capacity SSD for little money, already starting to see 480 GB models for prices around 100 euros, an amount that we recently had to pay almost for a 240GB one.

Now it only remains to wait for DRAM prices to start following the same trend as NAND in the coming months, as the high price of DRAM has become a major obstacle that prevents many users from updating their systems. The price of RAM has more than doubled over the past two years.

Are you going to buy a new large capacity SSD taking advantage of its low sale prices, or are you going to wait for them to drop further?
