Press Center - ASP of NAND Flash to Continue Falling 3~8% in 3Q23, Only Wafer Prices to Increase, Says TrendForce | TrendForce - Market research, price trend of DRAM, NAND Flash, LEDs, TFT-LCD and green energy, PV

TrendForce predicts that NAND Flash wafers will be the first to see a price hike in 3Q23 as prices for module products such as SSDs, eMMCs, and UFS will likely continue to fall due to tepid downstream demand. Consequently, the overall ASP of NAND Flash is forecast to continue dropping by about 3~8% in 3Q23, though a possibility exists prices may recover in 4Q23.

There are already 2TB SSDs available for less than 80€ and prices are expected to go even lower.

I agree with Artic Mine and believe storage is not going to be a problem for Monero and that the only real bottleneck is upload speed.

What do you think?

    I checked the costs of drives today at my local shop. At 1TB NVMe SSDs are cheaper than HDDs and surprisingly cheaper than the 2.5" SSDs I still hear people complain that SSDs are too expensive

      Yeah, at some point SSDs get so cheap that HDDs are more expensive just because they require more raw materials.
