Recent predictions suggested that RAM and SSDs would go up in price a lot, which partially came true as we could indeed see some price increases for both components, although fortunately this trend is about to changeand in a remarkable way.

Due to a drop in demand and stockpiling The price of DRAM and NAND Flash memory chips is falling significantly. This will lead to a drop in the price of RAM and SSDs that we should start to see in the short term, which is shaping up to be a corrective measure to help clear inventory.

That price drop It mainly affects DDR4 memorywhich is currently suffering the most from stockpiling due to the drop in price of DDR5 memories, as well as the supply of processors and motherboards compatible with the said standard, as they facilitate the transition to more current platforms and accelerate the phase-out of DDR4-limited platforms.

Price of 8 GB DDR4 modules down 17.07% in Septemberwhile DRAM in general fell 2.38% during the month of August. That’s when there was a change in the upward trend we’ve seen since October last year.

When it comes to NAND Flash memories, the prices of 128 Gb MLC memory chips During August, they fell by 11.44%.and the current trend is clearly downward for this type of memory, so as I said, we can expect the price of SSD to drop significantly in the short term.

PC makers have high inventories and demand has not recovered quite despite the interest generated by the adoption of artificial intelligence in the mainstream consumer market, so this downward trend could continue for several months. We will see what real impact this scenario will have on the market and how it will benefit us, the consumers.

It will be particularly interesting to see how this situation plays out to the next big bidding campaigns What we will see in the technology sector. As you already know, the most important one will take place with the Black Friday celebration, which will take place at the end of the month of November.
