SSDs are getting more expensive again because the biggest NAND supplier has throttled production to half its previous output
Last year was the perfect time to buy an SSD. For less than $100, you could get a couple of terabytes of really fast storage, even from the top brands. That's not the case now and you have to shop around to find a good deal, and the reason for this is simple: Samsung, the largest supplier of flash memory, has reduced production to such an extent that its factories are churning out 50% fewer chips than in the previous year.
