  • Samsung is reportedly winding down its SATA SSD production, which could significantly impact SSD pricing.
  • A leaker suggests this move could create up to 18 months of price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM.
  • SATA SSDs still account for about 20% of top-selling SSDs on platforms like Amazon, particularly in budget segments.
  • Samsung's exit could tighten supply, pushing up prices for both SATA and NVMe SSDs in the short to medium term.
  • Unlike Micron's Crucial RAM exit, Samsung's move removes an entire product class, directly reducing supply.
  • Industry forecasts suggest pricing pressure may ease by 2027 due to shifts toward consumer hardware and AI workloads.
  • The era of cheap SATA SSDs, especially from Samsung, is unlikely to return.
