Jeremy has been writing about technology and PCs since the 90nm Netburst era (Google it!) and enjoys nothing more than a serious dissertation on the finer points of monitor input lag and overshoot followed by a forensic examination of advanced lithography. Or maybe he just likes machines that go “ping!” He also has a thing for tennis and cars.
That should mean the upwards pressure on SSD prices for PCs in recent months will ease. Reportedly, South Korea’s leading chipmakers, Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix, along with Japan’s Kioxia, are now ramping up production of NAND flash memory having previously cut production due to an earlier a glut of chips pushing down prices.
More recently, it seems the glut of NAND memory has begun to subside, in part thanks to those production cuts and also increasing demand thanks to, yup you guessed it, the rise of AI datacenters. “Except for high-capacity NAND used in AI data centers, it is difficult to say that the entire NAND market is recovering. The sudden production surge will likely bring down NAND prices, which have been rising," says Kim Yang-peng, a researcher at the Korea Institute for Industrial Economics and Trade.This is our favorite SSD for gaming right now.
