SSD market is actively growing and evolving, consumer dissatisfaction is only with technical processes tend to reduce the cost of memory and its design life. Meanwhile, some experts believe that the downward trend in prices is not continuous, and at certain time intervals is possible to stabilize or even increase.
According to expert commentary HIS reports next year's deficit SSDs for ultrathin laptops and hybrid devices will make the average price to interrupt their flight down, although by 2016 the downward trend in prices will revive. The next year, it should be noted, the average cost price per gigabyte SSD capacity will continue to fall as the market will appear more spacious drives.
The solid state drive, according to IHS, account for 8-9% of the cost of the mobile device. That is, in the next year due to this type of accessories mobile devices will not be cheaper. Victims of the fight for lower prices may be RAM, display resolution, or other characteristics. IHS predicts prices based on the average storage capacity. This year, the average amount of SSD in ultrathin mobile devices will reach 197 GB, with an average cost of $ 111. In 2016, the average capacity will increase to 340 GB, and the average cost drops to $ 97. In 2017, for $ 93 you can buy conventional drive capacity 405 GB, and in 2018 for the 465 GB volume will need to pay only $ 79. In other words, if we consider the same drive capacity, it will be even cheaper in 2015, not to mention the following.
Manufacturers of solid state memory allocate more capacity NAND chips under release for smartphones and tablets, so the notebook segment and hybrids there is some deficiency that produces the conditional price stagnation. If we talk about the drives for full-size notebooks, the average prices will continue to fall. By the end of this year for $ 110 will provide 190 GB of space, and a year later for $ 104 is already possible to get 243 GB. Further dynamics even more encouraging: 275 GB for 89 $ in 2016, 310 GB for 73 $ in 2017 and 345 GB for 60 $ in 2018. Terabyte hard drives for laptops will be cheaper , from $ 57 to $ 55 for the current year.
