Do you think they will drop next month or pretty much stay at around 90 cents per gb?
 
Why would it change right now? I just recently saw an article asking if it was a dead end technology. Maybe someone just looking to get published but you wouldn't have seen that a year ago.
 
I went back and looked at the article I saw. It agrees with Techmasta, it was referring to some SSD vendors disappearing. That makes more sense. Not sure it will change in a month but if you can wait it may be worth it.
 
There's a long way to go, spot prices for NAND flash is around 60 cents per GB (http://www.dramexchange.com/). I'd say the major SSD makers can cut prices to 75 cents per GB on SSDs and still make good margins.

As a comparison, 6 months ago when SSDs were $1.20 per GB, NAND spot price was $1 per GB.
