💿 SSD Prices Are About to DOUBLE - And Your Host Will Pass That Cost to You
Bad news from Japan.
Nomura analysts just confirmed what the industry feared:
SanDisk plans to increase SSD prices by 100%+ starting March 2026.
Not 10%. Not 20%. DOUBLE.
Why?
→ NAND flash shortage (production crisis)
→ Enterprise demand skyrocketing (AI workloads)
→ Supply can't keep up with demand
This isn't just SanDisk.
When one major manufacturer raises prices, everyone follows.
Samsung, Micron, Intel - they're all watching.
What this means for hosting:
Cheap hosting providers run on thin margins.
They buy storage month-to-month.
When SSD prices double, they have two choices:
🔛 1. Raise prices
🔛 2. Cut storage limits
Spoiler: They'll do both.
WebHostMost runs on:
→ Enterprise NVMe SSDs (already purchased)
→ Long-term infrastructure contracts
→ Owned hardware (not rented)
We're not immune to market forces. But we're not scrambling to buy drives at 2x price in March either.
If you've been "thinking about" upgrading your plan or moving hosts:
The industry is about to get expensive.
Fast.
March 2026 = new pricing reality.
Stay tuned! 🤓
