You could get a 990pro 2 terabyte Samsung SSD for €150 just last year. Memory had become a commodity product.

Memory is still a commodity product, in that there isn't a huge amount of difference between vendors selling products that comply with a certain technical standard. Sometimes the prices of commodities (wheat, silver, crude oil, etc) go way up when supply and demand get out of balance.
