While we are looking for NAND prices to drop on a price per GB basis, we have not seen in the last decade prices increase on the level we are seeing now, these recent changes are primarily driven by process technology shrinks and wafer size increases,” stressed Mr. Petersen.


While I can agree with that to a point, it seems to me like the manufacturers are milking this cow for all its worth. They want the prices to stay high for as long as they can so they can make more profit. HDD have become so cheap they don't want to follow in the same vein so to speak.

Somehow I doubt it. In 5 years from now, there will be already 10TB HDD. If they think they can provide a 10TB SSD with the same cost of an HDD, there are hilarious indeed!!
