If there's one green, DIY upgrade path available for users far and wide right now is acquiring an SSD. With prices on RAM being crazy enough as they are (even if slightly better now compared to some months ago), and the finally cooling prices on graphics cards (due, in no small part, to this), the latest times have been hard for users looking for a straight upgrade. SSDs, however, provide one of the most impactful system upgrades for any kind of user's workload - and pricing on these has been as merry as merry can be, with a chance of improving even more in the future.This is because there's been a slight NAND oversupply towards the market, even amidst some "incidents" which have impacted global NAND production by as much as 3.5% just last month. However, investment in new NAND factories has been rampant, as companies look to capitalize on ever-growing smartphone NAND demand and the overall increase in storage space and speed for ushering businesses and technologies (think AI and processing workloads, for instance). Now is one of the best times ever to purchase gargantuan amounts of fast SSD storage - though it is expected that pricing will keep on declining at least until the beginning of 2H18, end-users will likely fail to see this reflected in a meaningful way. The situation may change slightly in 2H18, though, with companies reducing output so as to match market absorption of new NAND - moving from oversupply to tight supply.
