The MLC and SLC NAND trends in figure 1 are confusing me. Historically, wasn't SLC first? Yet the graph shows pricing for MLC back to 2001, and SLC back to on

The MLC and SLC NAND trends in figure 1 are confusing me. Historically, wasn't SLC first? Yet the graph shows pricing for MLC back to 2001, and SLC back to only 2007-ish. It correctly shows that MLC is less expensive than SLC.
Maybe he didn't have old price data for SLC?
- mbjorling 14y agoIt's hard for people to get data on flash chips / prices without signing an NDA. He probably found the data from various places and stitched it together from that.
- joe_bleau 14y agoHmm. I read the chart as price for the entire drive, not the 'raw materials' of the drive.
- adamleventhal 14y agoThe data is from the good folks at Objective Analysis.
