Why SSD PRICE INCREASED ?

Because of increased demand and reduced supply.

Increased Demand:

1. AI requires massive amounts and great speed of storage for data processing and training models.
2. Global tech giants are expanding their data centers, driving up demand for SSDs to store increasing volumes of data.

Reduced Supply: Ongoing global supply chain issues, including component shortages and transportation delays

There's no component shortage and transportation delays in SSD foundries it's an artificial made shortage, samsung and wd shut down a couple of factories manufacturing ssd chips to create a pressure on distribution nodes to increase the price every corporate wants profits and they will fall to a new low every now and then.

Wait for 1 month

SSD PRICE was lowest in republic sale 2024

There was oversupply in the market due to which SSD manufacturers have reduced production hence the increase in prices.

I purchased a SP 256GB NVMe for 1499/- at the end of the last year and today the same drive is selling for 2499/-. My research told me that prices will increase soon so at that time I purchased another NVMe the price of which has now increased by 500/- something; wait for sometime for the prices to cool down.

Its cheap only ... yesterday 240 gb for 1450 from tat cliq

i remeber ... 12 years back kingston 64 GB for some 3900 .  

Why nobody is talking about the 18% GST applied on storage items by Government of India, I bought external HDD of 2 TB worth INR 6000 from amazon in which more than INR 1000 was GST, Do you still think companies are looting public or government is taxing heavily on various products causing high inflation in almost every category ?

I need to buy one 240gb ssd for my old desktop. Any suggestions any deal?
