I disagree with Anand, then. When Intel introduced the Gen2 SSDs based on 34nm NAND, they did so immediately at a price point substantially under their existing 50nm products. With the very first unit, prices dropped. The other manufacturers then had to follow suit, as they were even cheaper than competing Indilinx-based units. When the 25nm-based products drop in the ~late Q3 timeframe, I expect Intel to do it again. 20-nm class NAND from Samsung and Toshiba should allow other manufacturers to reduce prices to match.
