The UK price tag of SSD storage for PS5s and PCs has plummeted in recent months – after hitting record highs during the coronavirus pandemic.
The global chip shortage, triggered by widespread lockdowns to prevent the spread of the virus, caused major issues and blocked many Brits from being unable to get tech products and parts for an affordable price. Some products were so in demand that they sold out for months, like the PS5, PC components, and cars.
The good news is that solid-state hard drives (SSD) have started to fall in price for the first time since the Covid-19 pandemic. Prices have been steadily dropping since January, with some options now 15 and 30 per cent cheaper since the start of 2023 – and no sign of slowing down.
