All the major SSD NAND flash producers finally hit volume production of 3D TLC NAND at roughly the same time last year which sent prices falling precipitously.

I'm not aware of a similar pattern in DRAM, which if anything has been suspiciously high for a while to the point that many assume price fixing was to blame as has happened in the past.

I think people attributed DRAM demand to cloud computing hyperscaling. Demand was higher than actual demand, because all of Amazon, Microsoft, Google purchased DRAM assuming their market share would increase. Predicted market share probably totaled well over 100%.
