Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM (www.notebookcheck.net)

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.

Adding a second NVMe drive may not be hard, but adding a couple dozen more for a NAS means forking over a lot of money for a high end CPU with an extra 96 PCIe lanes. That high end CPU also means high power consumption. For SATA or SAS, you only need a single slot with 8-16 lanes for the controller card.

Most small scale home and business NAS deployments are still going to use spinning disks, not SSD due to the lower cost per GB and the fact that HDD arrays already have enough speed for most small scale use cases.

My disk array at home gets close to SATA SSD speeds in most workloads already, and it's plenty fast enough for anything I can throw at it.
