Samsung promises low prices where you will buy Terabyte SSD and huge smartphone memory

by

Samsung is going to mass produce 1 Terabyte, 2 Terabyte and 4 Terabyte SSD drives at prices that will cause a massive move to terabyte-SSDs by consumers.

I am thinking the prices need to be about $80 for 1 Terabyte, $180 for 2 Terabytes and $400 for 4 Terabytes.

Currently prices are about $220 for 1 Terabyte and $80 for 500 GB.

Samsung will also be able to efficiently produce a 128GB memory card for smartphones that will lead the charge toward higher capacities for high-performance memory storage.

The 128GB memory has to drop to about $15-20 from $40.

The 4-bit QLC SSD enables a sequential read speed of 540 MB/s and a sequential write speed of 520 MB/s, and comes with a three-year warranty.

Samsung plans to introduce several 4-bit consumer SSDs later this year with 1TB, 2TB, and 4TB capacities in the widely used 2.5-inch form factor.

We will see in a few months what the new prices are.

  1. Intel 660p is also QLC NAND flash as well. We are probably about to see the wholesale shift to flash storage for a lot of situations with QLC based SSD’s (mostly in M.2 form factors). Which means a lot of the TLC NAND SSD’s are going to either go into stock clearance blowout price modes as product lines are shut down, or wrap down into SATA/SAS 2.5″ products for legacy compatibility. The nice thing is that M.2 right angle adapters are cheap, so if you have a spare PCIe x4 slot in your computer somewhere, you can stuff an M.2 SSD in with ease. U.2 stuff is a different can of worms however (U.2 is a 2.5″ form factor SSD, but uses the connectors in an M.2 mode so you can’t just connect it to your run of the mill spare SATA port usually)

  8. They always were. It just would be nice to live long enough for it to happen.
    If not for all the cartelling and riping off of buyers HDDs would have already died out. (capitalism strikes again)
