SSD pricing.... finally at the tipping point?

[dry]

Seen a couple of discounts on SSDs recently. Is this a feeler that prices may finally be on the way back down?

 

e.g. Kingston A400 120GB is £39.98 at ebuyer currently: https://www.ebuyer.com/790250-kingston-a400-120gb-ssd-ebuyer-com-sa400s37-120g

 

and this Sandisk SSD Plus 480GB is £109.99 at Amazon: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01F9G46Q8

 

Remains to be seen if these are one-off late BF/CM discounts or whether prices will continue to drop into the new year.

About time, DDR4 RAM is at silly prices too at the moment.

According to this article - https://www.kitguru.net/components/matthew-wilson/dram-and-nand-supply-shortage-expected-to-last-until-2018/

The RAM shortage may still run into next year and it will be nice for prices to come down once more to sensible levels.

I'm gonna wait for the drop until I buy any more.

I always pick the worst time to build PC's, last time it was the floods in Malaysia that drove the HDD prices up!

I bought 100 of the 128GB SanDisk SSDs a few years ago to upgrade all our 3 year old PCs, timed it really well though as I was paying £23 + VAT each and the next week the prices started going up.

Yeah I bought 100 Kingston 120GB at £30 each... so was shocked when I looked at some a few months back and saw them at £50 for the same thing!

Got Kingston 128Gb SSD for about £38 from ebuyer a few weeks ago and then they were £33 on black Friday
