Comment on Samsung to halt SATA SSD production, leaker warns of up to 18 months of SSD price pressure, worse than Micron ending consumer RAM

Tbh its not a bad call. Used to work somewhere that bought hundreds of 500gb SATA SSDs for laptop upgrades that just… sat on a shelf, because none of the new laptops ordered could even take a SATA drive. Hell, they’re Crucial branded so they’re probably collectable if micron keeps crucial dead for long enough.

That sucks. They probably could give them out to employees as a little bonus thing. Build a bit of goodwill. Rather than have them sit on a shelf.

  Government. Ain’t nobody want to get caught “stealing” from the government (they’re probably going to be destroyed ten years after they’re completely obsolete)

    You can’t send them to surplus auction?

  And then most people won’t know what to do with it, possibly flooding the helpdesk with requests.

    It would have to be a voluntary thing, not just handed to everyone. “Put your name on this sheet if you want one.”

    My wife would sign up and she has no idea what a drive is, of any type. If you try to explain it to her she’ll turn her ears off. But she’ll only hear “FREE STUFF!”.
