i clicked on the link. the article feels more like an opinion than fact.

"The Rise Of SSDs Leads To Rising Prices - HDD Performance Goes Backward

In many ways, SSDs are a victim of their own success. The continued price drops have made them more competitive with HDDs..."

my experience with this is the opposite. i didn't like the storage to price ratio on ssds so i bought a silicon power a80 2tb for $80. the continued price drops are a joke, $230 for 960gb is insane. to top it off my a80 came formatted to fat32 and is faster than any of my hdds, flash drives or sd cards. I haven't reformatted it since i use it to watch videos that aren't on my ps3 and it still copies files at 70-90 mb/s without reformatting. and is case you think it's my computer no it's the 2nd cheapest hp laptop and it's shit.

i feel that the article exists as a scare tactic to get people to buy more lower storage capacities so companies can have a reason to charge more. I've been waiting on the 2tb micro sd for almost 10 years there's absolutely no reason to be paying $80 for less than 1tb especially when it's flash.

i also feel that if some one thinks 960gb is enough they probably don't need it. the only electronic device i have that has less than 1tb is my ipod classic, even mine and my girls ps3 have at least 1tb (mine has 1.5 ). I literally have 10tb of storage so until ssds drop to $80 for a tb i'm not touching an ssd

not trying to start a flame war anything,  hell i'm jealous you have that ssd i want it in my ipod haha.

You're right, as the "crying wolf short shortage of material" shpeel that happens every year with HDD/SSD tech is a bait process to buy more.

I remember the same ploy sometime around late 2010, with that natural disaster in Asia, and consumers said the same thing. Yet, they were shafted bad for the following year with purposely hiked up prices that I have yet too see recover.

Except that was 2010, and smartphones and mobile devices were in their infancy stage.

Now that pretty much every device on the market runs off of the same components, and materials used are sourced from the same location, supply<demand will be pretty bad.

The cheap storage stuff on sale right now are last gen's tech (as if that is not obvious), and Samsung pretty much fucked the balance up with their smartphone disaster, and now with their NAND compatibility issues.

This M.2 SSD is fast as all hell.

I really wanted to get my hands on the new 960 Pro, but eh, 950 will do.

Running my OS off of it, and I like having 5-6 sec boot times lol. 

ah 6 sec boot time sounds great. sadly that will never be me, once I put a 2tb in this it's gonna be halfway filled with my music alone haha.
