However, with SSDs, it’s also possible to increase the number of bits stored on each cell (transistor), which in turn increases the data that’s capable of being stored. In SSDs for example, moving to a smaller process from say 27nm to 21nm would be a good way to do this. Now the solution to this problem is fairly complex, but in the most basic way, it almost always involves cramming a lot more stuff into a smaller space. Despite recent price cuts bringing SSDs to the lowest prices we’ve ever seen, traditional hard drives such as the Seagate Barracuda 3TB are currently retailing for a mere $0.04/GB, which in comparison to the $0.76/GB found off the Samsung 830 256GB is a lot more capacity for a lot less money. When we look at the SSD market today, there are currently two major barriers to increased adoption – first is cost and second is capacity.
