    On the 28th, the price of SSD hard drives rose. From October to December 2023, the wholesale price of SSD indicator product TLC 256GB (bulk trading price) was around $25.5 per unit, and the price of 512GB was $48.5 per unit, both of which increased by 9% month on month, and both were the first increases in nine quarters (since July September 2021). As the surplus of storage chips subsides, manufacturers have strongly demanded price increases for NAND Flash and SSD in recent price negotiations, and SSD manufacturers plan to continue demanding price increases after January March 2024. Although buyers have expressed some understanding, they are resistant to significant price increases. Therefore, the focus of attention in the future is on how much the price increase will be.
