Hmm, might finally have to upgrade my 10-year old MacBook with one.

[ckilmer]

what’s the reason for the fall in memory price beyond that memory prices generally fall

[dennisw]

I saw an 8 terabyte regular hard drive the other day. It was at $279. Western Digital.
20 years ago I thought I was a hot sh#t buying a 10GB IBM hard drive at the same $279 price and the US dollar was worth at least 2.5 times as much back then.

Bought a Seagate 3T drive for $125 6 months ago.
Always looking for memory sales.

[catnipman]

this is my bread and butter, go to drive for everything ... mindblowing drop in price ...

I paid $125 for a 500gb SSD in May for my laptop. I just paid about the same for a 1TB SSD in my iMac.

[Lazamataz]

I want a 2TB one, of which the prices are stubbornly stable.

[Obadiah]

A couple of weeks ago I bought 1TB SSD and paid $172. I recall that not long ago it was near $500. A 2TB SSD can be had for under $400. Great stuff.

One more deal: Newegg had G.Skill Trident RGB DDR4/3200 RAM available for around $130 for 16 gig.

Thanks, I need to upgrade my laptop, again. 12.5GB free out of 210GB doesn’t leave a lot of room for updates/caches.

Uh oh. Now the “I remember paying $10,000 for a one-kbit memory chip” stories start up again!

Two things to look at when it comes to SSDs:
1) Cycle life
2) Refresh rate

HDDs are cheap and have exponentially longer storage life. SSDs are fast, but the data has to be refreshed (refresh rate). Otherwise it is lost. SSDs also have a limited number of times that a memory location can be written (cycle life). Granted SSDs are larger then advertised to hide some of this and both refresh rates and cycle lifes are increasing. They still can not go long term without being powered-up, or left in service indefinably. The best solution is a hybrid of both HDD and SSD in a single drive. HDDs are going to be around for a long, long time.

At some point we will be able to store all the world's information on a chip the size of a fingernail.

This statement sounded much crazier 20 years ago but doesn't sound so crazy now.

[tired&retired]

8 terabyte drives are now $138.

Just now purchased a 2TB Seagate at Staples for $59.

[Larry Lucido]

I imagine these systems' HDs had all of six gigabytes each.

There are some deals at The Exchange for active duty and veterans.
