If you're hoping for cheap SSD storage deals in time for #Christmas , don't count on it, at least not for high-capacity units. The prices for SSD storage has been standing nearly still following the price rises after the manufacturers slammed the brakes on production due the extremely low prices last summer.
There may of course be some deals to be had around black Friday / black week /"cyber monday" in three weeks' time, but don't count on anything major, perhaps 25% off on select brands if retailers are thinning out their inventory on lower capacity units (2 TB or less)
Also, don't count on HDD price drops either, the rises in SSD prices has had a knock-on effect on hard drives as well, and large-size drives has risen 10-20% in price over the past year. If there's going to be price drops or deals, it's going to be on smaller sized units (say 6 TB or smaller) for clearing out inventory in preparation for 30 TB hyperscale drives entering the prosumer channel in 2025.
