First SSD maker that has the balls to sell 1TB SDD for under 100$ will not be able to keep the SSD in stock, but they will sell like hot cakes. Till this happens I not buying another SSD even IF i want to replace my data HDD with SSD. 200$ + and most are almost double that for 1 TB SSD is ridiculous. There were time where I almost did pay 200$ for 1 TB SDD, but i stoped my self each time cause for that price I can 4+ TB which would be far more useful if I actual need that much space in first place

They certainly would sell like hot cakes but at a loss. Raw materials (board, memory, chassis), R&D, marketing, and production of a 1TB product will exceed $100 for a long time to come. There is also the application intention of a 1TB product or even 512GB in the consumer market. If you are using that thing to store an OS, games, pictures, video, and music, and actually use >/= 80% of that capacity, you are looking at inevitable data corruption and/or loss unless you leave it powered 24/7. NAND memory is a stop gap between magnetic and the future - it just isn't made for long term storage of static data.
