How much do you think a 1TB SSD will be in a year?

In Canada a 1TB SSD goes anywhere from $450-800.

Do you expect prices to fall dramatically this year (or in a year)?

If I could find a 1TB SSD in the $250-300 range I would be happy.

How long do you think it will be?

Thanks

Cheapest 1tb drive should be north of $300 still. 3d NAND is still new and the future of OEM makers will be barely getting into it in a year.

One thing we should see a big dip in is m.2 SSDs and what ever will take over mSATA.
 
I think in 1 year we will see prices for 1TB SSDs 100-150 USD less. If something amazing happens in manufacturing and supply and demand, it might come around to the 90 - 140 USD price range. :)
 
^^^ I'll have some of what he's having... :D

$300 range is much more probable. Perhaps a bit below $300 for some lowest-end models.
 
Ya prices will keep dropping this year, i am holding out for 1TB drives as well, i can then ditch all my mechanical drives!
 
Well here in canada they are around $700 give or take. In 1 year prob $450 ish.
 
I would guess right around $300 or just below it. That seems to be the trend. If 1.5 or 2TB SSDs come out and M.2 becomes more prevalent then perhaps even a little cheaper. That's my guess.
 
Apart of commodity SSDs there will be more expensive ultrafast premium PCIE 3.0/NVME SSDs.
 
Depends. If things keep going the way they are, then I would fathom we'll see a 20-40% drop in pricing from today. If the memory manufacturers drum up another BS disaster, then pricing will shoot up 60-200%.

Expect and prepare for either...50/50 chance.
 
prices need to change because this market will only increase but pockets will not get deeper.

NAND vendors will not sell their products at a loss to make this happen though. With that said again I believe competition of 3D nand will drive prices down some. It will not drive it down to hard drive prices / GB but that is a different matter.

Most people don't need 1TB SSDs, so their pockets don't matter.

Personally I wouldn't wait a year for 100$, but that's just me. I splurged 400€ for one last summer (when the euro was at 1,35$).
 
I picked-up the Mushkin Reactor 1TB drive for $339.00 minus 10% ($305.10) I like it so far.
