NAND FLASH PRICE TRACKER · $/TB

NAND flash prices — live NAND and SSD price tracker

Enterprise SSD and consumer NVMe levels, tracked on a comparable dollars-per-terabyte basis.

Quick answer: as of 2026-08-28, Enterprise SSD 30.72TB QLC is $4,627.00 USD / drive, +11.40% over 30 days and +165.00% year over year. Across the 26 contracts tracked on this page the basket is +8.13% over 30 days and +185.73% year over year.

NAND is the storage half of the memory market and the second bill AI datacenters pay: training clusters need petabytes of high-capacity enterprise SSD alongside their HBM. This page tracks enterprise and consumer drives together so you can see whether the storage market is following DRAM higher or diverging from it.

    SK hynix drops 5% after approving $38B of new memory fabs; Seagate falls 7%

    Memory and storage names sold off after SK hynix approved a $38B fab program, with investors reading the spend as the first credible path back to oversupply. New front-end capacity takes 7-9 quarters to produce bits, so the risk lands in 2027-28, not this quarter.

    CXMT eyes a second Beijing DRAM plant as China pushes toward Micron-scale output

    CXMT is reported to be planning a second Beijing DRAM fab, targeting output approaching Micron's by late 2026. Chinese commodity DDR4/DDR5 supply is the single largest downside risk to the conventional-DRAM price curve.

    Samsung reclaimed the DRAM revenue crown at 39.00%, back to 2024 levels. SK hynix grew revenue 214.00% YoY yet fell from 39% to 26%. Micron sits one point behind at 25.00% - the closest since 2014. CXMT and Nanya were the fastest growers.

FAQ

What are NAND flash prices today?
The table above tracks enterprise SSD and consumer NVMe levels with 30-day and year-over-year change. NAND is priced per gigabyte at the die level and per drive at the shelf, so the $/TB view is the cleanest way to compare across capacities.
Are NAND prices rising like DRAM?
NAND and DRAM are separate markets with separate fabs, but they share customers and capex budgets. AI datacenter storage demand for high-capacity enterprise SSDs has tightened the NAND market, though NAND has historically been more prone to oversupply corrections than DRAM.
What is the difference between NAND flash and DRAM?
NAND is non-volatile storage — it keeps data with the power off and is used in SSDs. DRAM is volatile working memory that the CPU or accelerator reads and writes directly. AI training needs both: HBM and DDR5 for working memory, high-capacity NAND for the datasets and checkpoints.
Where does this NAND price data come from?
Contract settlements, broker boards, supplier filings and retail trackers, each flagged reported, derived or estimate with a source link. The methodology page lists the full ranked source set.
