SSD NAND prices dropping - price could further half this year

SSD NAND prices dropping - price could further half this year

Solid State Drives are becoming increasingly cheaper, it is now reported that there is an oversupply of flash memory with low demand for notebooks and smartphones back. This year, the priced could be halved compared to what it was last year.

NAND manufacturers want to reduce the production of flash memory. In addition, investments are expected to fall by two percent, having already been dropped by ten percent last year. DRAMeXchange expects that prices for Flash memory products will be around 20 percent in the first quarter of 2019. For the second quarter, and maybe 15 percent and in the last two quarters, it will be another ten percent per quarter. For the year, the price of flash memory would be roughly be reduced by half.

Below an example of the Crucial BX500 480GB released in the Summer of 2018, you can clearly see the trend.

Just in time to accomodate a fresh Linux install on a 1 TB SSD, Steam and Lutris will happily install games on it!

Really happy with my Crucial MX100 256Gb.
Will buy an NVMe Crucial P1 500Gb with my new Ryzen 3k.

Will happily buy 2nd M.2 as long as price is right and it is PCIe x4 even if it is not faster than 2.5GB/s

Speaking of SSD... Any chance to see new SSD that takes advantage of PCI-E 4 this year? (since Ryzen 3XXX is coming with PCI-E 4)

I've thought about that too and I'm curious to see how it'll be utilized for storage.

I'm not convinced it makes sense to introduce products that utilize PCIe 4.0 x4, for double the theoretical throughput, as client workloads never really get anywhere close to the 3.5 GB/s of PCIe 3.0 x4 as it is. Maybe a better idea would be to split the 4 PCIe 4.0 lanes into 8 PCIe 3.0 to allow for more drives overall. But as that would require some kind of PLX setup it would add cost and might introduce latencies that work against what you'd be trying to do in the first place. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable could offer better insights.

Right now I'd say any real improvements in client performance would have to come through QD1 optimization, IOPS and transfer speeds both, rather than increased bandwidth on the high end.
