SSD Prices Continue 3-Year Plunge

[wraggster]

After dropping 20% in the second quarter of 2012 alone, SSD prices fell another 10% in the second half of the year. The better deals for SSDs are now around 80- to 90-cents-per-gigabyte (http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9234744/SSD_prices_continue_to_plunge) of capacity, though some sale prices have been even lower, according IHS and other research firms. For some models, the prices have dropped 300% over the past three years. At the same time, hard disk drive prices have remained "inflated" — about 47% higher than they were prior to the 2011 (http://forum.dramexchange.com/viewtopic.php?t=20731) Thai floods, according to DRAMeXchange.
