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. Update: Samsung refutes the SATA SSD lineup demise rumor.
My mind forgot that M.2 is probably more prevalent these days and that they’re not just shutting down for no reason.
Guess it’s time to get some m.2 to SATA adapters
I would be surprised if m2 has overtaken regular sata connections for the majority of computers produced for businesses and individuals, but maybe they don’t make enough in that area.
They definitely have. The smaller form factor is better for laptops, and if you can share parts between laptop and desktop it’s cheaper.
