Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 77501, member: 636"] Samsung just shot down internet chatter claiming the company would stop making SATA SSDs. A spokesperson told reporters the whole thing was bogus after people started freaking out about losing another major SSD supplier. The panic made sense since Micron already bailed on consumer storage. Memory and NAND shortages have gotten pretty wild because AI companies are hoovering up everything manufacturers can produce. Samsung remains a massive player in the SSD game, and consumers were worried they'd pivot hard toward AI infrastructure instead of keeping retail products stocked. The supply crunch is real, though. PC makers like Dell are already hiking prices because general-purpose DRAM and consumer storage are getting squeezed. SK hynix admitted earlier that fixing the bottlenecks will take months before retail markets chill out again. [/QUOTE]
