Good.
But I'm not gonna take their word for it. I'll be happy if sata ssds continue to be available, but I'm also not gonna be suprised if this is a straight up lie.

wtf what is going on in this world
Greed won
The way I see it, there's more money in everyone not having computers in the traditional sense, but having low powered, cheap devices that need replacing every couple of years, and all compute is done through cloud services and AI platforms. So there's currently profit in data centres eating up all the available hardware, increasing the price of those components to the end user, and eventually pricing everyone out of owning any device that can actually compute until our only option is another subscription, and another, and another.
Yeah, why would they exit the consumer market when they can just mark up prices 10x or more?
That would be extremely shocking since they are almost always the top rated brand when looking at those products. I would imagine they probably hold a top spot in sales for thst hardware?
So was and did Crucial.
There is so much money to be made in AI right now, that it can make sense to ditch an entire perfectly profitable sector because AI companies simply have that much more investor funds to swing around.
