How long until an SSD is the same price of an HDD of the same size?
How long until an SSD is the same price of an HDD of the same size?

As long as both are being sold, never.
Jackson Sanchez
never but once you use an SSD and HDD will feel like 1995
Jose Hernandez
That doesn't make sense. If a technology is becoming phased out in favor of a different technology, eventually supporting it will not be the standard.
Kayden Roberts
That'll never happen. What will happen is that the cost of SSDs will become such a non-issue that people will no longer be able to really justify buying HDDs. Spinning rust will eventually go the way of the floppy disk, with SSDs being the de-facto standard, until a new system is invented that is even better, but obstructively pricy at the time of its push into the market, and the cycle shall continue.
also that is a cute anime I want to snuggle, OwO
Aaron Rogers
fuck you ludmillia
David Turner
People are more likely to buy an HDD over an SSD so its going to be cheaper
Jordan Foster
Why has SSD price/GB stagnated for so long?
Hunter Lopez
something something jewish people
Chase Roberts
why are you such a cheap prick?
Asher Lewis
*blocks your hardware price drops*
Heh, nothing personnel, kid.
Owen Taylor
Not for a very long time. Even after the average consumer adopts purely SSD storage, HDDs will still be cheaper per gigabyte for those that care about storing extremely large amounts of data.
Jaxson Anderson
This
Hard drives are a server product.
Lucas Johnson
If SSDs get cheaper, HDDs will also get cheaper. No one is gonna buy an old, unreliable HDD when an equal size SSD costs the same.

If SSDs become cheaper than HDDs their price point is going to cross at some point, making my original statement possible.

that's not what I said.
Landon Walker
It is though.

In other words the $ per GB ratio of an SSD will be less than or equal to the $ per GB ratio of an HDD. You underestimate the size of the crowd that will always take the cheapest option.
Ryder Phillips
why is RAM so expensive? why are TVs and computer monitors so expensive? why were HDDs so expensive some years/months ago?
you can guess...
Joseph Adams
Do you even understand what the word stagnant means?
Kevin Cook
do you even understand that prices of SSDs should be going down, but don't?
Camden Morales
fuck you, buddy. i can hardly afford hdd's
Benjamin Smith
So there's a NAND shortage, but what does TVs have to do with that?
Chase Rogers
>he believes the "there is shortage of x" argument
fucking retard
Wyatt Taylor
>all NAND manufacturers are conspiring to inflate prices
Sup Forums or /x/, take your pick and stay there
Gavin Walker
They are...
Isaac Clark
Right, because nothing like that has ever happened before
