Recently, it was reported that Samsung Electronics has announced its price increase plan to major customers including Dell Technologies and HPE, preparing to increase its main storage semiconductor, server DRAM, and enterprise grade NAND flash prices by 15% to 20% in the third quarter. Samsung has also increased its enterprise grade NAND flash prices by more than 20% in the second quarter. This is already Samsung's third price adjustment this year. What is the reason for this price increase?
Nowadays, SSD capacity is getting larger and larger, and enterprise level SSD capacity has reached 30TB, 60TB, and even 120TB. However, the lifespan of SSDs has always been a fatal flaw, as larger capacity disks lose more data when they fail. Recently, Huawei unveiled the secret of Huawei's full flash distributed storage to make SSDs longer lasting.
It is expected that the significant growth in the global storage market this year will mainly depend on the significant increase in storage prices in the first half of the year, as well as the degree of recovery in the global server market this year, which will have a positive impact on the simultaneous increase in server storage volume and prices.
