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.

I built my PC with m.2 back in 2019, hasn't SATA been moved on?

He points out that roughly 20% of Amazon’s top SSD bestsellers are still SATA-based, with Samsung drives making up a notable portion of that list

yeah 80% of market is not SATA

And DIY components is a relatively small segment of the market compared to laptops and pre-builts. I wouldn't be surprised if it's in the 10-15% range of total revenues even for companies like AMD that have strong market momentum in the space.
