What's the catch?
I mean is it getting cheaper because SSDs generally have lower life expectancy?
More supply & lower demand = cheaper goods, plus technology that creates it gets more wide spread so competition arises, and many other factors contribute to the fall in prices such as an improved model coming out making older models cheaper.
The increasing spread of cheap good technology isn't really about the new hotness coming out it's about last decade stuff finally becoming affordable.
