Prices of NAND Flash Controller ICs Poised to Rise by 15-20% due to Tightening Production Capacity for Foundry Services, Says TrendForce

This sort of news are meant to induce fear so that people will rush out to get one or more drives. Anyway, how much is the NAND controller by itself anyway? If I assume its 20 USD, a 10% increase is 2 bucks. The title seems to imply that only the controller is going to see a price increase, so technically you should not see a steep increase in SSD prices.

How much 15-20% increase a controller price bis not equal to how will effect to market price of SSD. Many people's when they read that the price of something will rise, they rush to the store in a panic to buy it before the increase. Many people do not have enough education to judge exactly what it is about.
