Gartner predicts SSD $ 1 / GB in 2012

The most affordable SSDs we've seen have sold around 1.5 € / GB (or 1.7 $ / GB). It is still too expensive for the technology is truly accessible to all, but according to Gartner, by 2012, SSDs will lose even more than a third of their cost to reach the threshold of $ 1 / GB Not until the second half of 2012 so that this miracle happens according to analysts.

Over the past year, the decline measured by Gartner is 30%, but should accelerate in 2011 (- 36%). This year marks both the transition to the Flash in 25 nm, which is not without its problems, but must bring down costs. Manufacturers are also increasingly likely to offer SSD as standard or optional on their machines, leading to higher production and lower prices.

The proportion of flash memory produced for the SSD will increase from 7.9% in 2010 to 15.9% in 2012.
