Sunday 27th July 2014: 5.52pm. I forgot to post my annual SSD vs magnetic hard drive capacity per inflation adjusted dollar graph which I updated in May, so here it is. The trend of deexponentialisation of SSD capacity per dollar growth has continued as I first predicted in 2012 (http://www.nedprod.com/studystuff/SSDsVsHardDrives_201204.png), and currently SSDs are growing slower than magnetic storage which implies they will never catch up in terms of capacity per dollar. ...

The latest update to the annual comparison of storage bytes per inflation-adjusted dollar has been posted online. It would seem that Intel adjusts Optane XPoint pricing to match SSD prices, as this year’s increase is exactly the percentage that SSDs have risen. A logistic model regression curve for X-Point has gained an unusual predicted incline. ...

The annual update to the periodic comparison of storage bytes per inflation-adjusted dollar has been compiled every June since 2012. A study comparing magnetic hard drives, flash SSDs, and Intel Optane XPoint devices is available for download. Raw data is also provided online. The report highlights a significant improvement in hard drive prices and a better-than-expected trend for SSD prices. ...

The annual update to storage bytes per inflation-adjusted dollar is being provided for magnetic hard drives, flash SSDs, and Intel Optane XPoint devices. Raw data is being made available online, and a PDF report is being shared with the latest numbers. The study has been conducted every June since 2012, and this year’s results show significant improvements in Optane storage capacity per dollar. ...

6. Sunday 02 June 2024
The storage manufacturers have been experiencing a significant increase in prices this year, with both hard drives and flash storage seeing large price hikes. This is likely due to the assumption that higher interest rates would reduce demand, but instead, prices have gone up. The capacity per inflation-adjusted dollar has dropped for both spinning rust and SSDs simultaneously, which is unprecedented. ...

7. Sunday 01 June 2025
The annual update to the periodic comparison of storage bytes per inflation-adjusted dollar for magnetic hard drives, flash SSDs, and Intel Optane XPoint devices has been published every June since 2012. This year’s data is based on current prices, including the effects of a 10% import tariff within the United States. The graph shows that SSDs are almost exactly 9% more expensive than last year, while hard drives have become significantly cheaper. ...
