After many production cuts and price adjustments last year, the price of SSD has risen a lot in the past period of time. Obviously, NAND flash memory chip manufacturers have benefited from it, at least financially, much better than the same period last year, and the next high probability will continue to rise.

According to media reports, Pan Jianxeng of Phison Electronics has issued a warning about the recent rise in SSD, saying that further increases in SSD may lead to reduced demand, and NAND flash chip manufacturers should strive to increase production to meet market demand, rather than reducing production to let market demand exceed supply.

During the pandemic, after SSDS experienced increased demand and supply shortages, the market for SSDS experienced a significant decline, and the decline rate exceeded the expectations of NAND flash chip manufacturers. Therefore, the supply far exceeded the actual demand at that time, and the long-term high inventory level forced NAND flash chip manufacturers to significantly lower their pricing. At the time, Mr. Pan said further price cuts for NAND flash memory were out of the question and that suppliers could go bankrupt if the market didn't recover soon.

As the market demand rose again in the fourth quarter of last year, with the production reduction strategy of NAND flash memory chip manufacturers, the price of SSD began to climb, and there was a significant increase in a relatively short period of time. Qununited is now worried that if the price of storage devices, which are necessary to build PCS, is too high, in the global economic downturn, it may interrupt the recovery pace of the PC market, let demand shrink again, and eventually hinder the development of the NAND flash memory industry.
