All kinds of "legacy" products go up in price-- RAM a couple generations back, etc. SSDs have won. Spinning hard drives are going to ship fewer and fewer units. The economies of scale are not going to improve ever again and are already getting worse. Further, the market just doesn't care about paying for capacity for the most part. We peaked in 2010 with 650 million drives/year. Current unit counts are about one third of that. Compare to SSDs with about 400 million units/year.
