SSDs are becoming more of a standard? I honestly haven't paid too much attention to SSDs in the years that I've been into PCs, but I haven't noticed the prices drop too much....

2011 a 120GB SSD costs the same as a 1TB SSD does today. This is a very good trend. ?

I got into PCs around 2013-14, and haven't noticed very large downtrends...

I think this is largely due to the market expanding.  New brands and new products.  The ol' faithful Samsung line is still 'about' the same price as it has been the last few years, but now products from WD, Adata, intel etc undercut them by a bit here and there.

Refirb Micron for 338!

Normal price is about 400 which is also the cheapest I am seeing.

you can get these for 300 on amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Micron-MTFDDAK2T0TBN-1AR1ZABYY-Solid-State-Drive/dp/B01LB05TOO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1527184612&sr=8-1&keywords=micron+1100

AquaI been on ssd since 2011. Started out with a measly 64 gb variant. Back then kapacety and prices where not to great. Since then i have moved on and got me some 250 gb ssd. 4 in total. 2 x samsung 950 pro 250 gb m.2 nvme ssd (yeah i know these are old now, but itd only m.2 ssd that can boot on my old x58 pc), a samsung 850 evo 250 gb sata ssd and a crucial mx300 275 gb sata ssd.

 

The golden peace of a ssd i just got today. A crucial mx300 2 tb sata ssd for what in usd is 313 usd or 1990 dkr. My local store had a special price on in but limit to one per costumer else i would had got 2 or 3 of them.

 

In gennerel ssd prices has been lowered over the years on price per gigabyte. But compared to hdd, ssd still lack a low price per gb. Until then we are still stuck with slow, noisy hdd for large storage.

Actually, the new 860 line is less expensive than the 850 line and some the 860s have dropped in price since they came out. Mayhap the manufacturers decided they had milked the NAND shortage long enough?
