For reference, here is a graph of storage prices over time. The observation is flash-based storage plateauing at a significantly higher baseline compared to magnetic.

So it becomes a question of how long will the high baseline hang around with only a few scaled up manufacturers in existence?
The top 4 supply the vast majority of the market from a handful of factories: Samsung, SK Hynix, Kioxia, Micron
Building a new flash or memory factory is a hugely capital-intensive undertaking.
Anyhow, thanks for your reply! Interested in any insights or points I'm missing.
