Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns

Yeah winter is coming. And it's not going to last only 6 months :'( I think it's best to buy soon and dig in for the storm to pass. Unless the AI Bubble pops spectacularly, but then the shockwaves to the global economy will be just as harmful as these price rises.

No one should be buying a SATA SSD in 2025 if they have the option to use a PCIE SSD, which every new motherboard has at least one spot for. This isn’t AI, this is the ending of a standard.
xyse53•1mo ago
I get that for a boot / root drive but not for building a self hosted storage system. I'm not taking about cost of SATA SSD vs NVME; I haven't seen a lot of board+enclosure options that take enough M.2 disks.
out_of_protocol•1mo ago
There's usually 1 or 2 spots for NVMe drives, but that's it. If you want more, fall back to SATA
wtallis•1mo ago
The cheapest motherboard + CPU bundles at Microcenter all include motherboards with three M.2 slots. There definitely are full-size ATX boards that only have two M.2 slots, but these days that's usually only because one of the PCIe slots is wired for x4 rather than just x1. Being able to connect three NVMe drives is not a rare or premium feature on current consumer desktop platforms.
Longlius•1mo ago
USB3.2 is almost twice as fast as SATA. If you want extra storage, get a USB-C or thunderbolt external drive.
ursAxZA•1mo ago
I’m not an expert, but VRAM and NAND seem to compete for the same upstream stuff — wafers, EUV steps, gases, fab time. If GPUs are printing money right now, cutting SATA SSD production feels like the easiest thing for a manufacturer to do.
wtallis•1mo ago
I don't think anyone is using EUV for NAND flash.

Cutting SATA SSD production is really just a reflection of the fact that NVMe has been mainstream for a decade, and both servers and consumer PCs have been using NVMe as the default SSD interface for years. The SATA SSD market is just not very big anymore, and certainly not big enough for Samsung to continue to care about.

ursAxZA•1mo ago
EUV was just an example — the broader point is that lithography capacity, wafers, gases, and fab-hours all get allocated across product lines.

If GPUs generate dramatically higher margin per wafer-hour than SATA SSDs, fabs will re-shift capacity toward them.

Whether NAND uses EUV specifically doesn’t really change that upstream pressure.

busterarm•1mo ago
I haven't bought a SATA SSD since NVMe became an option...

I need to stackup on a few HDDs for my Old Laptop that is my main system :)

I know I could use an SDD in the system, but not sure if the self-life, I have a HDD from 30 years ago in an old desktop, it is still going strong.

zamadatix•1mo ago
Had I noticed the Article's sole source was Moore's Law Is Dead I would have been more skeptical from the start. Not that I consider Wccftech a pinnacle of accuracy, but they claim to have contacted Samsung and received a reply refuting this story:

> The rumor regarding the phasing out of Samsung SATA or other SSDs is false. - Samsung Electronics spokesperson
