Non-mechanical storage memory (SSDs) solutions are being used more and more, especially on phones and laptops, they are offering a lot of speed advantage over conventional hard drives and many PC enthusiasts are betting on drives SSD 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 go towards increasing the volume of 3D NAND memory production. In the event that demand remains relatively stable, the (eventual) additional influx of memory chips to the market should help further reduce costs, as long as there is no 'deal' in pricing, of course.
The truth is that in 2019 we should see SSD products cheaper than ever and with a good storage capacity, now that material stock problems seem to be stabilizing.
