SSD prices stable for a year now

SSD prices stable for a year now

A small study is showing that SSD prices in the EU, specifically the Netherlands have not fallen in price is the past year, that means that prices have stabilized and probably will stick at this level for time to come. Website tweakers polled the results from a price-watch engine and spread over volume sizes of 120GB to 512GB Nand flash storage remain stable. 

The biggest price drop was a year ago when prices dropped from 1.84 EUR per GB towards 0.89 EUR per GB. But the trend continued. SSDs have been up and coming for a couple of years now with tremendous price drops. The growth has been so strong that pretty much anyone with a modern age PC now has an SSD installed.

The price right now sticks at roughly 0.80 EURO per GB (averge). Anyway, below a chart of the pricedevelopment  in EUR, courtesy of Tweakers.net spread out over roughly a year.

Shame, in the UK at least they're still more expensive than they were 18 months ago.

Agreed, 120gb SSD's were retailing at £50 last year, cheapest you can find them now is around the £70 mark.

Hopefully as larger capacities start to become avaialble (as sammy is setting the trend with the new 1tb ones) we will see further price drops.

I want to see 4tb ssd going for <£250 in 3 yrs please. Then over the next few years after that we can phase out those ancient spinny mechanicle things.

They should simply make large storage SSDs with slower speeds. 250 Read/Write is enough for storage.

But all they do is focus on making them faster and faster.
