DJ aka GDR DJ Posted June 23, 2012 Share Posted June 23, 2012 (edited) SSD prices in steady, substantial decline On all too many occasions, we've bemoaned the state of hard drive prices. They rose sharply after last year's Thailand flooding and still haven't returned to what many of us would consider normal. There is good news on the storage front, though. The current generation of solid-state drives is cheaper than ever, with multiple models living comfortably below the dollar-per-gigabyte threshold. To get a better sense of the SSD picture, we've analyzed a mountain of pricing information dating from early 2011 to Tuesday. The folks at Camelegg graciously provided the data, which we've sliced, diced, and compiled in pretty graphs. Camelegg tracks prices at Newegg, which should give us a good sense of what's going on in the overall market. Originally, I had hoped to combine a stack of SSDs in one massive graph. Turns out that was completely unreadable. With most drive makers competing aggressively on price, there was far too much overlap. Instead, we'll tackle the most popular drives one by one. To make comparisons a little easier, all of the graphs stick to the same scale. The selection has been limited to include only the SSDs we've reviewed. In most cases, we've looked at the price of three capacities. source Edited June 23, 2012 by DJ aka GDR DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
