This change is due to supply and demand factors as well as the effects of the epidemic. As a result, while NAND manufacturers have reduced production volumes due to chip oversupply, demand has continued to grow, especially considering the demands of modern gaming for SSD storage.
Analysis of prices of popular SSD models of various sizes shows that, despite the slight increase in cost, the price increase is not dramatic.
For example, the price of SK Hynix P41 Platinum 500GB increased from $66 to $75, and the price of Corsair MP600 Pro LPX 500GB increased from $53 to $60. However, this trend applies not only to individual models, but to the entire SSD market as a whole.
Experts recommend that consumers who may need a new SSD soon should purchase it now while prices are within a reasonable range.
