Samsung is reportedly preparing to wind down its SATA SSD business, and a notable hardware leaker warns the move could have broader implications for consumer storage pricing than Micron’s decision to end its Crucial RAM lineup. The report suggests reduced supply and short-term price pressure may follow as the market adjusts.
Why would ending sata ssd production create price pressure for m2 ssds? If anything, they should be able to produce more of those.
M.2 is just a connector, you can run SATA over M.2. But you’re right, freeing up 2.5" production for M.2 should reduce price pressure.
