The Rising Cost of Storage
Posted by Patrick Lim on
You've probably noticed SSD prices aren't what they were just a few years ago. It seems like drive price tags get higher every week. Just when storage space was getting to affordable prices across brands and models, they skyrocketed, and it's been hard to find SSD costs not in the triple digits. With the AI boom, data centers, gaming hardware & popularity, including other high-capacity consumer devices, have all been demanding on the supply and production chains of flash memory. Rising manufacturing costs and ongoing investment in newer, denser NAND technologies have also contributed to higher prices across the industry.
It's uncertain where pricing and consumer priorities will go next, the days of low priced SSDs appears to be behind us for now. So unfortunately, if prices still go up, then there is no time like the present to snag extra storage space if you've been waiting. If you're planning a PC upgrade, expanding your game library, or adding fast storage for creative work, it may be worth buying sooner rather than later.
