Just an interesting tidbit on the differential in cost of newer 24nm and 25nm NAND versus previous generations since the OCZ switch has been in the news quite a bit lately. I spoke with someone that does financial analytics for one of the big manufacturers. The current cost differential is in the neighborhood of 35% given current yields.

So from the OCZ perspective, the raw flash portion should have gotten significantly cheaper unless market forces have kept the sale prices high (in which case the NAND makers just increased margins by a ton.)
