SSD prices today — NVMe and enterprise $/TB tracker
Consumer NVMe drives and datacenter SSDs on the same 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 10 contracts tracked on this page the basket is +7.69% over 30 days and +199.50% year over year.
Consumer SSD pricing is downstream of enterprise NAND demand: when hyperscalers buy 30TB-class drives in volume, the same wafers are unavailable for retail NVMe. Tracking both rows together shows whether a retail price move is a promotion or the leading edge of a real supply squeeze.

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.

FAQ
- What are SSD prices today?
- The table above shows the tracked consumer NVMe and enterprise SSD levels with 30-day and year-over-year change. Retail drive pricing follows the NAND contract market with a lag, so a move in enterprise contracts usually reaches the shelf a month or two later.
- Are SSD prices going up?
- Check the 30-day and year-over-year columns above rather than trusting a headline. AI datacenter demand for high-capacity enterprise SSDs pulls supply away from consumer drives, which is the main channel by which datacenter buying reaches retail prices.
- Is it a good time to buy an SSD?
- Compare the $/TB figures above against the 12-month chart. When the 30-day change has been positive for several consecutive readings across both consumer and enterprise rows, the market is tightening and waiting has historically cost more than buying.
- Where does this SSD price data come from?
- Enterprise contract settlements plus retail trackers, each flagged reported, derived or estimate with a source link. See the methodology page for the full ranked source set.
