Flash drive prices decreased consistently throughout the first three quarters of 2024, reaching an average of $0.085 per gigabyte by September, marking a 10% drop since April.
Despite predictions of further SSD price hikes in 2024, increased production without a corresponding rise in demand led to a decrease in prices following significant spikes in late 2023.
Hard drive prices have remained relatively stable with SAS averaging $0.041/GB and SATA at $0.036/GB, showing only slight variation from earlier in 2024.
The analysis, encompassing over 45,000 price points since March 2023, indicates a competitive market with varied price trajectories across flash drive sub-types: TLC, MLC, and QLC.
