Similar to RAM (DRAM) prices for system memory, SSDs are now plotting an actually worse price increase trajectory by time vs spot price, and we expect contract prices will trail. Currently, data centers and "AI" are driving the demand for SSDs to be deployed in server solutions worldwide, which reduces consumer demand. At the same time, some SSD NAND suppliers are reducing their production capacity despite high demand.
