SSD and HDD Prices Could Rise by Up to 30%In the coming weeks, the prices of hard drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) could increase by as much as 30%, marking one of the biggest price hikes in recent years. The main reason is the exponential growth in demand from data centers, especially those dedicated to artificial intelligence. The pressure on manufacturers has led to price adjustments, with increases designed to take advantage of an increasingly demanding market. Impact on HDDs and Consumer ProductsTraditional hard drives, while not dependent on NAND memory, will also be affected indirectly. Hard drives, although facing a more moderate rise, will not escape higher prices.
