Toward the end of May 2007, I bought a 2GB Sandisk Cruzer for £12.14
Mid April 2008, I bought a 4GB Sandisk Cruzer for £12.99
End of Feb 2009, I got a 16GB Sandisk Cruzer for £15.49
Today, the same drive priced at £17.79 is considered 'hot' on HotUKDeal.
I am really not sure what's crazier. The price huge drop between 2008-2009, or the fact that price has not only stagnated, but even gone back up between 2009 and 2010. Those are not fast memory, I can't imagine them being the same as the ones used in SSD HD. But could it be that the factories that previously made flash memory for flash drives have shifted their production towards flash memory for SSD drive resulting in a decrease of supply? Are the days of 'double capacity for around the same money per year' forever gone?
