Yea crazy prices, I'm building soon and want a 1tb ssd too and if I would have built last year it would have been over £100 cheaper.

Just wait a couple of years.

That sounds good lioke the sound of price crashes just can't wait till 2019!

From what I have read the whole of this year will be high prices with maybe some small increases at the end of this year but likely early 2018 when prices will go down to what they were last year.

Seems memory prices are going up by ranges of 10%-40% it seems. This is more likly due to the £ not doing very well at the moment

Unfortunately it is a double whammy of 20% drop in £ value and an increase in memory prices which is pushing up RAM and SSD's.
