No, actually, SSD's are dropping in price because the flash memory chips they use have shifted from 35nm to 25nm (not 100% certain on those, but it has dropped)

No, actually, SSD's are dropping in price because the flash memory chips they use have shifted from 35nm to 25nm (not 100% certain on those, but it has dropped). This means more chips from the same silicon wafer = lower cost.
