SSD Prices to Skyrocket Due to NAND Chip Shortage
Higher-capacity models, particularly 2TB and 4TB, expected to see the most significant price increases.
- SSD prices are expected to 'skyrocket' in the coming months due to a shortage of NAND chips, which are critical for SSDs.
- Major memory players like Samsung and Western Digital have cut production of NAND flash to stabilize SSD prices, but this has led to a shortage.
- The price increase is expected to be more noticeable on higher-capacity SSDs, particularly 2TB and 4TB models.
- PC builders, brands, and companies may face higher costs as SSD prices rise straight from the factory.
- The full impact of the NAND package shortages is expected to hit the market in two to three months.
