Major chipmakers have moved to slow down their capacity expansion pace aiming to stop NAND flash memory prices from falling further. However, improvement in their new-generation 96-layer 3D NAND production yield rates will still result in supply-side growth, the observers said.
The NAND flash memory market remains in an oversupply situation, and a further increase in supply would not be favorable to the market and prices, the observers continued.
Lower SSD prices expected due to 96-layer NAND rollout
Posted on Tuesday, March 05 2019 @ 13:00 CET by Thomas De MaesschalckDigiTimes writes NAND flash memory makers are slowing down capacity expansion plans to stop NAND pricing from droppping even further. However, the rollout of 96-layer 3D NAND flash memory is about to expand in the second quarter of this year, resulting in supply-side growth. This may result in further price drops.
