Samsung is reportedly preparing to wind down its SATA SSD business, and a notable hardware leaker warns the move could have broader implications for consumer storage pricing than Micron’s decision to end its Crucial RAM lineup. The report suggests reduced supply and short-term price pressure may follow as the market adjusts.
So hardware that may still be perfectly usable but predates NVMe should be tossed out then?
Although a counter-argument to that is aside from in extreme cases needing to boot from a SATA drive because if a board predates NVMe, it probably doesn’t support booting from NVMe without a BIOS mod, is NVMe riser cards to add NVMe drives to a board which wouldn’t otherwise support them, but that would of course fill up a PCIe slot.
The exact same thing you already have to do to upgrade the memory on such a computer, you go buy used/old stock DDR3 or cannibalize from another system. Pre-NVMe systems are DDR3 era and older. Time goes on, interfaces update and anyone looking for compatibility with their older system will need to either use an adapter or buy used/old stock. If there’s enough demand like with motherboards there can be a random Chinese brands making new hardware for old platforms using a mix of new and cannibalized parts
Who said anything about tossing stuff out? Use what you’ve got for as long as you can. When it’s time to upgrade, upgrade.
You are clearly a fucking little teen or something. I have tons of old systems that do the job fine and will run until the heat deah of the universe. Not everything is about the latest and greatest gaming system.
