SSDs were even cheaper until memory manufacturers decided it was getting too cheap: tomshardware.com/…/ssd-prices-predicted-to-skyroc…
They predicted prices would go higher and, through the magic of intentionally constricting supply, it happened. Prices still have not dropped back down to where they were in 2023.

I’m not sure if SSDs were really cheaper before. RIght now, I’m seeing about $0.043-$0.05/GG. From what I recall, that’s about the same or a little better than what we had in 2023.
However, I very much agree that prices should have decreased much further in that time.

This isn’t extensive, but when looking up products on amazon through camelcamelcamel that existed in 2023 and now, the trend matches up:
