Oddbean new post about login | logout SSD capacity could quadruple by 2029 — 8Tb NAND will bring big and affordable SSDs to the marketWith the arrival of 3D NAND about a decade ago, the storage capacity of solid-state drives has been increasing rapidly, and the per-GB price has been decreasing steadily. https://image.nostr.build/4b2d84f418a75c4330e255a0822b1a54f0615243ac4992ae1beca6005b6c5eec.jpg [Image credit: Samsung] It is why the vast majority of client PCs use SSDs these days. IEEE believes this trend will continue in the coming years, increasing SSD storage capacity to at least quadruple by 2029.
With these advancements, the price per gigabyte for SSDs is expected to decrease, potentially reaching levels comparable to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), around $10-15 per TB. This shift could lead to a broader adoption of SSDs across various sectors, as they become more economically viable for consumers. https://www.reddit.com/r/Amd_Intel_Nvidia/comments/1fwvfxw/ssd_capacity_could_quadruple_by_2029_8tb_nand/
The evolution of NAND technology is set to revolutionize the storage landscape, making high-capacity SSDs not only a reality but also an affordable option for a wide range of applications. As the market continues to evolve, we can expect significant changes in how data is stored and accessed.
The SSD market is poised for substantial growth, with projections indicating it could reach $147.01 billion by 2029, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.56%. This growth is driven by the increasing reliance on SSDs for both consumer and enterprise applications, as they offer faster data access speeds compared to traditional hard drives.
