SSD prices are projected to rise by 50% in 2024 due to a significant increase in NAND flash memory pricing, with TLC NAND pricing already up by 120% over the last two years. This comes after manufacturers like Phison and Western Digital have initiated price hikes to counteract financial losses and supply chain issues. Consumers can expect to see the cost of SSDs and HDDs climb, suggesting that those considering an upgrade to next-gen storage solutions should act soon before prices surge further.
