Comment on Ask HN: Why are flash memory prices going down so much faster than RAM?

Comments

All technical reasons aside, it has got to be mostly demand. I can't see computers coming pre-configured with more than 64gb, but for storage there is increasingly more demand as the price reaches parity with spinning disks. One thing that is true is we are as storage-hungry as ever. High res photos created by every phone, companies logging every minute process in hopes of using it for analysis later... Our need for storage vastly outstrips our need for RAM.
