That's exactly the opposite of the way I expected things to turn out. Hard drives with their moving parts have a floor on the price, just because you can't get all those parts any cheaper; the only way to get the $/TB lower is to keep making them bigger. SSDs have no such problem, so I expected on the low end we'd see SSDs undercutting hard drives by a lot. Where are the $20 SSDs?

- agumonkey 9y agoI often run from usb flash drives, never tried a recent micro sd; I wonder how different they are in terms of everything.
- pixl97 9y agoThere is no reason to produce $20 SSD's at this time. There is more demand than production so it makes more sense to produce large, high profit drives.
