Delay your SSD purchase as 10-15% price increase is expected

Fast and reliable storage is a must-have and many are using SSDs for this purpose. Speaking of which, it’s predicted that the SSD prices will continue to rise.

How much of a price change can we expect to see? Keep reading to find out.

SSDs are predicted to become more expensive in the future

According to TechRadar and the information from TrendForce, it’s expected for the client SSD prices to increase by 10-15% in Q2.

As for enterprise SSDs, their prices are expected to jump 20%-25%. On the bright side, it seems that the rise in prices is finally slowing down.

In the previous quarter, the prices went up 23-28% for both client and enterprise SSDs. Keep in mind that this information is just an estimate from Q1 and a forecast for Q2, so maybe take it with a grain of salt.

This change comes after the increase in production by Kioxia and WDC, but unfortunately, other manufacturers won’t follow suit.

So maybe this isn’t the right time to get a new SSD, and we’ll have to wait and see whether this trend continues in Q3. With such prices, it’s no wonder that many are wondering if it’s safe to use second-hand SSDs.
