SSD Prices are dropping Significantly

SSD Prices are dropping Significantly

If you are in the market for an SSD, now might be a good time to be looking at one. I was just performing some checks and you will notice that prices on popular SSDs have dropped significantly. You can find a 500GB Crucial MX500 for 100 euros.

As to why the price drop is happening, I am not sure. Then again, oy! who cares right? In the graph below you can see by how much prices are dropping, check this one out:

 

 

So above the Crucial MX 500. That is the 500GB model that started selling at roughly 138 euros, right now it is hovering at the 100 euro marker, which is just 20 cents per GB. Next one then:

 

 

So above the Samsung SSD 860 EVO 500GB, this product was 189 Euros six months ago, now roughly 106 Euros, so it has dropped a good 43% in price. 

  

 

Prices for M.2. NVMe devices seem to be affected as well, above the Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB, M.2 In all fairness, Samsung dropped the price right after release. But yeah, it started at over 200 bucks, and now can be spotted in the 160 Euro region. Prices, of course, vary per region and country. But again, if you are in the market for some NAND storage, now might be a good time to look around a bit.
