Price: SSD vs HDD

Price: SSD vs HDD

SSDs are more expensive than HDDs — about twice as expensive per gigabyte — and that isn't likely to change anytime soon, though SSD prices have come down in recent years. The raw materials for SSDs cost more for the manufacturer, and the device’s construction is much more complex. 

HDDs contain one uniform slab of metal, where storage space is constrained only by how large the surface area is or how small you can write. 

When you consider that these transistors are being shrunk down to ever more microscopic sizes, it’s pretty incredible that SSDs are only twice as expensive per gigabyte as HDDs. 

Another factor that inflates prices is demand: many people simply don't need SSDs. When demand is low, manufacturers don't have to race to provide the required supply or to price it more competitively. Thus, SSD vs HDD price per GB is roughly stable.

Keep in mind that cheap SSDs are often poorly made. Steer clear of unrecognizable or untrustworthy manufacturers so that you don't wind up with a shoddy SSD.
