In terms of technology, when a product is initial, exclusive or a technology is "newly developed", we often find prices that are often prohibitive. However, for the sake of the democratization of technology, with the passage of months and mass production these products tend to lower their prices considerably. However, it seems that this is something that is not going to be strictly enforced with SSD memories, and that is after months of logical drop in prices and increased storage it seems that prices could rise significantly looking to the near future.
According to information from Make use of, It seems that the demand for NAND memories, the basis of the technology of elements such as the SSD or microSD memories, is skyrocketing. During the final months of 2016, they are having manufacturing requests above production capacity, which already caused prices to rise 5-10% this christmas.
SSD technology has become tremendously popular for logical reasons, which is that it greatly improves the performance of desktop systems such as laptops. And it seems that even more it will become popular in 2017, and it is that when acquiring a computer it seems that it begins to be key to know if it has an SSD memory. Many users have even chosen to rejuvenate their computers by including this type of storage memory and replacing their traditional mechanical hard drives.
Thus, by pure logic of the economy it is expected that the prices of SSD hard drives will be increased between 10% and 20% because the high demand and low production is making wholesalers or companies that manufacture devices dependent on these memories accept the purchase at almost any price.
The Texas memory released its first SSD in 1978 so it is not a new technology, since then there are only that its price was extremely expensive. But they have been around for many years.
