Ah, so magical power outages are the flooding equivalent for SSDs.
>Toshiba Memory and Western Digital on Friday disclosed that an unexpected power outage in the Yokkaichi province in Japan on June 15 affected the manufacturing facilities that are jointly operated. Right now, production facilities are partially halted and they are expected to resume operations only by mid-July.
>Western Digital says that the 13-minute power outage impacted wafers that were processed, the facilities, and production equipment. The company indicates that the incident will reduce its NAND flash wafer supply in Q3 by approximately 6 EB (exabytes), which is believed to be about a half of the company’s quarterly supply of NAND. Toshiba does not disclose the impact the outage will have on its NAND wafer supply in the coming months, but confirms that the fabs are partially suspended at the moment. Keeping in mind that Toshiba generally uses more capacity of the fabs than WD, the impact on its supply could be significantly higher than 6 EB with some estimating that it could be as high as ~9 EB.
>13 minutes fucks up prices for months Fucking Asia.
Dylan Russell
good job my son
Anthony Nelson
>Months Try years.
My filters somehow filtered his thread, fuck.
Cameron Wilson
>profit margins are getting way to low >SHUT IT DOWN! (for 13minutes)
Gabriel Anderson
Now imagine what would happen if a war happened and these kinds of factories got bombed.
Lincoln Russell
>Another fake disaster to increase the prices. FUCk off yellow jews.
Zachary Myers
the virgin filter vs the chad ignorer
Asher Perry
This
Angel Turner
Scam.
Prices were dropping so they pull this shit to constrain availability and jack prices way up. Declining revenue fixed.
Blake Young
Now imagine what would happen after the fucktards get resetted after that war. >omg things are cheap, and companies are actually pretty cool now
Evan Foster
>hard drive prices crashed >tsunami happens and suddenly all the factories get flooded >hard drive prices skyrocket i bet the jews did this
Nicholas Rodriguez
Now imagine if it was an foreign country attacking another foreign country, who are the main lobby group with companies in the west? Jewish communities. The second one are Chinese state sponsored and then other Asian nations.
This was a direct attack on a Japanese high tech company, a time loan to sell the stored solid drives and other shit that will be obsolete in a matter of days.
Caleb Collins
Good thing that we don't have a war then huh?
Aiden Sanders
It is. Far too many people take peace for granted.
Caleb Fisher
Why isn’t this kind of super critical infrastructure buried deep underground to protect it in case of war? An armed conflict in Asia would be absolutely devastating by the looks of it
Aaron Bennett
>fucking Toshiba of all people >not having ups+generators for 6h+diesel supply line >let alone 13 minutes Something doesn't smell right
>power goes out for 13 minutes >this kills half the supply for the quarter >massive losses >yet there are no backup power generators or even just batteries | |> |3 |
Ryan Hall
stick to (((coporate media))) then
Asher Long
you got it dirty randy, AP here i come! and don't forget to take your meds
Owen Taylor
>big media outlets are the only reliable ones >big media outlets are all owned by the same few people that coordinate with eachother >anyone not sharing their narrative won't be accepted as reliable Perfect NPC mindset.
Jordan Collins
BULLSHIT
Ryder Richardson
smack em with a fucking antitrust
Luke Cox
>already bought ram and ssd for new ryzen 3rdgen build Feels like i dodged a bullet
Caleb Johnson
Hasn’t China been ramping up its NAND production facilities targeting a launch for this year? Awfully convenient for them that their main competitor suffered an unexpected setback, enabling them to undercut prices even more.
How convenient, Zen 2 is right around the corner too.
Logan Thompson
Wait wtf? Do I buy an SSD now? Wat do, Jow Forums?
Lincoln Carter
Get a $80 1TB SU800.
Matthew Gray
If you get ADATA you deserve to suffer when it dies, they're even worse Kangtzon and Sandisk.
Joshua Sanders
like clockwork it's all BS prices are too low since they can't legaly up prices there needs to be an excuse since tsunami season hasn't hit yet, no earthquake, or any natural excuse ... there needs to be something .... like a power failure even though the factory has backups upon backups of power redudancy everyone knows what is going on but nobody is going to say it since everyone needs it
a world addicted to NAND what are you going to do when your dealer ups the price? drop on your knees and take it like a bitch
Alexander Murphy
ADATA SSDs are just rebranded Intel SSDs with a SM controller. Kingston uses mystery meat NAND and controllers with horrible reliability. Sandisk is you get what you paid for tier, so are WD Sandisk rebrands, good thing they have been slowly moving away for rebrands.
Chase Thompson
I'll freaking buy it right now.
Josiah Jackson
Get an Intel 660p instead.
Cameron Ramirez
>QLC NAND Might aswell get the cheapest SSD possible.
Robert Gomez
Is QLC bad? Should I buy TLC?
John Young
or, you know, sources outside of "private correspondence" is a good start
Asher Reed
BUY NOW BUY NOW BUY NOW!!!
Brayden Stewart
Prices won't be affected immediately.
Jackson Clark
I'll give you some TLC bby
Logan Anderson
>own giant as company >don't have backup power and other redundancies
Even my pathetic NEET ass has the lights on when there's a power outage. I have a couple solar panels, solar charge controller, a small battery array, and an inverter.
