Mixed-fleet storage vendor Vdura has materially revised the enterprise SSD pricing figures in its Flash Volatility Index, telling customers in an April 8 update that the cost of a 30TB TLC enterprise drive climbed 472% between Q2 2025 and Q1 2026. The Milpitas, California, company's January launch release for the same index put the rise over the identical window at 257%. Vdura hasn’t explained the gap between the two readings.
Where January’s release pegged Q1 2026 pricing for a 30TB TLC enterprise SSD at an already princely sum of $10,950, April’s release puts it at an eye-watering $17,500. A year ago, that price was around $3,000. April's update also introduces a QLC line item that wasn't in the January release, putting 30TB QLC drives at $15,121 in Q1 2026, up from $2,450 the previous spring.
