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 2026-10-12, Enterprise SSD 30.72TB QLC is $4,636.00 USD / drive, +11.35% over 30 days and +165.00% year over year. Across the 10 contracts tracked on this page the basket is +7.78% 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.

512Gb TLC NAND slips to $20.083 as consumer buying stays weak
The 512Gb TLC wafer spot reference fell another 0.31% to $20.083 on 14 September after a 2.71% weekly decline to $20.146. Consumer purchasing remains cautious even while enterprise SSD demand keeps contract pricing elevated.

Spot board, 1 Sep: DDR5 16Gb $54.08, DDR4 16Gb $92.02, DDR4 8Gb $44.54 — all up under half a percent
The 1 September session closed with DDR5 16Gb 4800/5600 at a $54.083 average (+0.31%), DDR4 16Gb 3200 at $92.024 (+0.27%) and DDR4 8Gb 3200 at $44.544 (+0.40%). Every line is still green, but the daily session moves are now fractions of a percent rather than the multi-point jumps of June and July. The spread is the story: DDR4 16Gb printed a $117.00 high against a $42.20 low in the same session.

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.
