You will be down-voted to hell for this comment, but luckily their down-votes can't stop China. Tariffs can though...

He's being downvoted because it's a dumb, knee-jerk comment. This has nothing to do with RAM, the thing getting really expensive at the moment, and Samsung isn't even stopping SSD production (which would be worth getting really mad about). It's about stopping production for a specific interface which has long since been saturated by even the cheapest, crummiest SSDs.

SATA SSDs don't really have much of a reason to exist anymore (and to the extent they do, certainly not by Samsung, who specializes in the biggest, baddest, fastest drives you can buy and is probably happy to leave the low end of the market to others).

Funnily enough, I wasn't even downvoted yet :D

But you see, it's hard to post smarter comments when the title and the article don't help..
