There has been an incredible price drop on the SSD front
Digitimes said the 1,0 TB copies simply halved in price compared to last year.
The latest post on the portal discusses that at such prices, an SSD of this size could be a “mainstream” device already this year. True, in a 2,5-inch size, we can find a 99 TB SSD around $ 1,0, we don’t even have to reach for the family reserve for models with an M.2 interface (about $ 130). Unsurprisingly, demand is growing steadily, but further price declines are expected due to oversupply.
The memory market also shows a pleasant picture; the 8,0 and 4,0GB DDR4 modules may soon be priced below $ 60 and $ 30. It can be observed that due to Intel's chatter-stumbling, customers turned to AMD, which significantly increased the popularity of memories operating around 3 MHz, and much lower demand for models operating at 200-3 MHz. The reason obviously resides in the memory controller of Ryzen processors, which doesn’t really tolerate wind-fast RAMs.
