With the production of NAND flash, market prices continue to loosen, stimulate the market with SSD demand increased, the industry believes that the 2018-year half NAND flash price will go all the way down, will promote SSD and HDD price difference further convergence, the current SSD spreads gradually reduced to 3~3.5 times, The price difference replaces the gold intersection will soon come, pushing the SSDs to replace the benefits of the show, while the PCIe SSD price decline will also expand, the future jump into the mainstream market would be around the corner. Memory Module Factory 10 general manager Chen Qingwen said, because of the transition to industrial and electrical competition products increased proportion, in recent years, the memory market price changes have less impact than other peers, but recently observed NAND flash market price decline, the 3rd quarter still has a downward pressure, and will continue to the 4th quarter of the off-season trend, looking forward The civil said that NAND Flash will be difficult to return to the previous trend of price increases, by the new output and QLC NAND technology, the expected future price will fall gently. Chen Qingwen pointed out that the price of Nand Flash is not bad, will facilitate the upgrade of SSD products, accelerated HDD replacement, the past SSD and HDD spreads once up to 7~8 times, and 2017 Nand flash out of stock prices, Once led to OEM factory procurement of SSD tends to conservative, but the 2018-year difference has been narrowed to 3~3.5 times, is expected when the SSD and HDD price difference to close to 2.5~3 times, SSD will reach the gold intersection point. Hui Rong general manager Gou Jia said that, although the SSDs gradually become the mainstream market, but the future of the HDD can not be completely replaced, especially the external storage, is expected to eventually maintain the 15% market share. One of the PCIe SSD growth strength will be accelerated, according to industry estimates, if the global market map estimates, PCIe SSD overall proportion of about 30%, mainstream products SATA SSD accounted for still about 70%, but NB manufacturers push PCIe SSD specifications, resulting in NB occupancy rate is better than the overall market. It was pointed out that the oversupply of the NAND market in the 2nd quarter, most of the SSD suppliers faced the pressure of capacity, including SATA-SSD prices have fallen 6~11% in the first 1 quarters; PCIE-SSD also fell 3~10%, so SATA-SSD and PCIE-SSD have been falling for 2 consecutive seasons. The industry believes that, because the recent SATA SSD prices are near the bottom of the market is expected to gradually slow down, but PCIe SSD by the terminal manufacturers or module factory led by the lead, is expected in the next half of 2018 will have the opportunity to significantly reduce the price difference with SATA SSD, in addition to the client SSD price down
