It's hard to keep track of everything that's going on in the world right now NAND Flash, the market said that in 2019 it crashed in terms of prices and where users became popular.

At the end of last year, recovery efforts began to bear fruit and prices were rising again, however COVID-19 It has changed everything and according to sources, inflation is under pressure.

It was early this April when China, which would recover from the virus and return to "normal" status in its economic and manufacturing sector, announced the downturn that its industry was seeing in retailers.

Fear is a powerful and formidable enemy, which is why the first signs came just two days after Samsung's hand in a move that has informed the danger that the industry is operating: it cut the SSD inventory. The epidemic was exposed by the industry and priorities changed for everyone.

If a fixed product is kept, there may be an excess supply, so the price will go down for a long time and will not go up after months, but demand is made less and less, though the collections are small, but the stock goes out.

The solution does not depend on Asian manufacturers, depending on the scale of most western consumers, the major eaters of RAM and SSD, but we already know what Europe and the United States are like. The market decision will come, soon, without remedy and can deal with any of these two conditions or one that is not understood by analysts.

The price and stock are uncertain which will accompany us for at least a couple of weeks, after which you know where the market will go … Put your bet in the comments.
