I thought it has been interesting that after buying Intel's SSD business and making a new company, Solidigm, SK Hynix has continued to release parts that are mechanically identical.
Even "smarter" move was to switch to QLC instead of at least TLC (the latter has also not that super-duper endurance). With QLC you get negligibly (30%) larger capacity at the price of 10x smaller life span ;)
as Dr. McElhone was fond of saying: "the world is not linear". and, it really isn't. just as anyone around when Covid-19 went through the global population.
Yeah, I had assumed the use of SK Hynix branding would fade away and they'd have just one set of Solidigm product lines. This is puzzling, especially after last year's financial pressures surely forcing some painful cuts and consolidation.
Its good to see, we need more of those, but progress seems lackluster. Unless that will be SERIOUS VOLUME, not just for CD, but most of the cloud. anyone knows what aws have underneath their ec2 as standard? those are rookie numbers, guys. We need MOAR.

I suspect it’s a smart move having two separate teams at each division work on overlapping products.SanX - Sunday, July 28, 2024 - link
