Flash memory oversupply leads to falling prices

Flash memory are said to have fallen by as much as 25% on the bulk market, according to memory chipmakers. Few consumers know (or care), but Apple is the biggest Flash customer and basically defines demand and prices. It is reported that a lower demand from Apple led to a short-term oversupply, which in turns, led to falling prices. There’s no panic, but I’d like to ask: “can I get a cheap SSD now?”

It is likely that demand will pick-up later in the year as flash memory becomes even more popular, displacing low-capacity disk-drives in laptops and power-sensitive applications.
