SSD prices per TB
Compare the cost of the same amount of storage across capacity tiers. Each tier needs at least five distinct new desktop products; the median is the middle unit price, not the cheapest available price.

Change compares identical products at both dates: how many cost more or less, and what they cost added together. A comparison between two tier medians would also capture changes in product mix, which is a different question.
