On March 13th, news emerged that SSD prices have skyrocketed in the past six months, leading many who purchased SSDs between June and August last year to make significant profits.
Take, for instance, the Fantech S690MQ series 4TB SSD. During last year's 618 shopping festival, prices plummeted to below 1,000 CNY, with JD.com listing it as low as 989 CNY.
Moreover, this price held steady until mid-September last year, lasting a solid three months.
The price of this SSD has now surged to 1549 CNY, which is 560 CNY more than last year's 618, marking an increase of over 56%.
The Fantasia S690MQ series 4TB SSD boasts a continuous read/write speed of 5000MB/s, which is 10 times faster than regular SATA SSDs and a whopping 16 times faster than typical mechanical hard drives. Moreover, it's lightweight and quiet, making it a viable replacement for mechanical hard drives.
Industry analysts believe that 2024 will be a year of significant SSD price hikes. If flash memory manufacturers continue to reduce production, SSD prices will further rise.
