    I’m optimistic. I’m making numbers out of my butt because I literally can’t remember.

    But I think My 20GB SSD from 2010 was about $100. I used to dualboot.

    Today, I can get a 512GB SSD for $50.

      Same SSDs are about 40% more expensive today than they were this time last year.

      SSDs were relatively new in 2010, and priced accordingly. Now it’s just about increasing sizes and (hopefully) reliability. I just don’t think that all of a sudden we’ll have huge cheap SSDs - people are used to a certain price point and manufacturers will take advantage of that.
