# Enterprise SSD prices surge as storage supply sells out through 2027

*2026-08-21 · Source: [Tom's Hardware](https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/enterprise-ssds-now-cost-18-times-more-than-hard-drives-per-terabyte)*

A 30TB TLC enterprise SSD now costs about $22,600, roughly 6.5 times its price a year ago, and enterprise SSDs are now priced about 18.6 times higher than equivalent hard drives. Hard drive supply is reportedly sold out through 2027.

**Why it matters:** This adds a concrete data point to the AI-driven storage crunch already visible in DRAM prices, which are up 500% this year, and in server rental costs like OVHcloud's 87% RAM price hike. Storage is becoming as scarce and expensive as compute for anyone building or renting AI infrastructure, and a multi-year sellout means the squeeze won't ease soon.

**Topics:** chips, products
