Finally SSD prices have started dropping again. A year ago prices were at $1.56 /GB, and expected to see 25nm production in place by the end of 2010. Now some SSD’s can be seen at around $1.16/GB. This is a mere 25% price drop, and I would have hoped that they would be closer to 40% price drop by now. The fact that flash memory is used by mobile phones, tablets, and netbooks means that there is probably a greater demand for flash memory which may have been contributing to the slow decrease in SSD prices.
