Samsung is reportedly seeking to increase its investment in the NAND memory sector with an increase of $2.6 billion in its annual NAND budget. It will increase the company’s investment to $9 billion and aims to increase production volume.
Samsung will invest heavily in NAND memory production
Samsung wants to keep ahead of the very high demand for memory from all sectors of IT, from computer components to smartphones, among others, in the hope of satisfying the manufacturing of its products and selling them to an increasingly enthusiastic audience for the latest news.
Non-mechanical storage memory solutions (SSDs) are being used more and more, especially in phones and laptops, they are offering a great advantage in terms of speed over conventional hard disks and many PC enthusiasts are betting on SSDs to improve the loading times of applications, games and OS.
This should improve the prices of SSD storage units
According to sources, most of the funding will be used to increase the production volume of 3D NAND memories. If demand remains relatively stable, the (possible) additional inflow of memory chips into the market should help to further reduce costs, provided that there is no’negotiated’ pricing, of course.
The truth is that in 2019 we should see SSD products cheaper than ever and with good storage capacity, now that material stock problems seem to be stabilizing.
