Currently, the prices of SSD and NAND have shown a significant decline, but analysts believe that this downward trend still has no end. The latest forecast for shows that consumers can buy 2TB SSDs for less than $100 next year. SSD has seen a significant price reduction recently and its capacity has also increased significantly. Six years ago, the Samsung 1TB NVMe hard drive was sold for nearly $500; now the same model costs only $90, a 80% drop.
In this regard, analysts believe that the current SSD cost will be cut in half in mid-2023. If the prediction is correct, the 1 TB M.2 SSD may retail for around $50, the 2 TB SSD may be under $100, and the 4 TB drive will be close to $200, which is great news for price-sensitive users.
Trendfocus pointed out that the main impact of the recent sharp price cuts is that OEMs can now produce NAND chips faster than before. The contracting technology department and over-manufacturing result in an oversupply of products that cannot be sold at the initially determined price. The next few months should be a great time for those looking to upgrade their PC storage. It may be better next year.
