SSD price droppings

What is going to happen x-mas?
Will the SSD price drop to ridiculously low level?

i bought one like 3 months ago and now they are half the price fuck, I could have bought double the size

Same thing actually, I bought mine 4 months ago but I decided to buy another one if the prices drop even more from current state

ssds are the only things that are actually getting cheaper.
Everything else is getting more and more expensive.

especially RAM prise will increase

ram is down too from what it was in july. psu's are still the same.

tech news websites say this every year and they are getting cheaper (I can buy a 500gb ssd for just over the price I paid for a 250gb from the same manufacturer 2 or 3 years ago), but they're probably not going to suddenly drop by 50% overnight

this happened in my country (Chile) a few months ago. Half the price on most brands, Overnight. They've been dropping slightly since then, about 10%.

I got a 120 gb SSD for 89 bucks back in 2013, then a 250 gb one for the same price in late 2015, now a 500 gb one is the same price.

I saw $1TB from a non shit brand(think it was Crucial) for $150. That's pretty fucking good. It should have been 10GB/$ a long time ago, but (((they))) always get floods.

Still waiting for samsung 1tb to drop to $100.

if this happens, what will happen to the HDDs?

bigger capacity for cheaper

end of line for aptop drives, at least

Both SSD and RAM are going down.
I just did a upgrade last week and the prices for NVMe and DDR4 were way down from what they were 2 months ago when I started planning this upgrade.

I'd say that given the performance benefit that SATA SSDs and especially NVME SSDs have over HDDs in the market that even slight perceived discounts in SSDs will help consumers justify making the leap to higher capacity SSDs. The exception will be builds that are strongly budget oriented. As it stands though, low-end SSDs easily beat out HDDs and even with reliability gripes are easily justified based on performance while still remaining price competitive.

but its easy to drop RAM prices now because they were artificially inflated few years ago

I think the only advantage of HDD is large capacity but how big are biggest 2.5" HDDs?

3TB is biggest? I dont really know but surely the 2.5" HDD will see disappearance on the market if this continues.

3.5" HDD:s can be made into 15TB so they arent going to vanish any time soon from Data Center Servers

>SSDs cheap
They're not that cheap if you didn't fall for the TLC meme

$81 for a 500 gb Sandisk ultra 3D, 160 for the 1tb. Is this a good deal or not? I would like to save for nvme, but as it stands I don’t even have an ssd at all. Only 2.5” hdds and sshds.

Nvme is a meme and doesn't bring any real world benefit unless you're copying large files 24/7. actually they're shit because you cant set ata passwords on Nvme ssds

I only use M.2 because less cables.

It's nice having a cable less storage medium.

Could someone recommend me a 1tb ssd that's reliable and fast enough for photo editing?

It'd be great if I could snag an SSD on the cheap for my Xbox and trap porn.

they were pretty cheap already. an even bigger pricedrop would be great. i bought a 500gb evo 960 a few weeks ago for only 60 bucks. that was pretty good.

The price keeps lowering in my country. It's like 75% the original price now.

Not such a substantial drop on the Samsung 4TB SSD.

It's cheaper to buy 2 x 2TB. Comes out at £700 instead of £926.99

Considering I can get an external 8TB for £165 it's still a long way off from being close to cheap enough for storage.

Bought in a month ago at almost the cheapest price to date. Got a tiny bit cheaper just recently.

Pretty happy I waited so very long to grab a 1TB drive for my laptop.

Hopefully for Christmas it'll really crash and I can justify a steam game drive.

instead of buying a really fast drive I wonder if it would be worth it to but 2 or 3 slower ones for raid or whatever.

>raid
for what purpose

how long until ssd replaces hdd

I can score a brand new Samsung EVO 4TB for less that £300. My finger is poised...

To get my boots from 15 seconds to 8

What the hell is going on?

The same 860 EVO 1tb is 185£ (241$) on amazon.co.uk while the american amazon.com lists it for 168$

Germany's a little better with 200$ at amazon.de...

Eh, it just means I can buy more for the same price.

Should I do a RAID 10 with four SSDs?

VAT

I need 6 for a Raid-0 setup. Good for me

what’s causing this? are they likely to go up again before new year?
