Samsung and Kingston Hike SSD Prices by 10% Again, Pushing 1TB Drives Past $330 as NAND Shortage Deepens

Samsung and Kingston have reportedly issued new SSD price increases of at least 10%.

The hikes add to earlier increases as NAND flash supply remains tight.

1TB SSD prices are now moving toward roughly $330-$360, according to the report.

The rising costs could make consumer PC builds more expensive, especially for budget and gaming buyers.

The shortage is being linked to continued storage demand, including demand driven by AI.
