Agreed, but this is the internet, the ultimate domain of pedantry, and they didn't say it explicitly, so I'm not going to put words in their mouth just to have a circular discussion about why I'm claiming they said something

Which tells me your experience is incredibly limited. Intel was very good, and when they partnered with Micron, made objectively the best SSD's ever made (3DXPoint Optanes). I lament that they sold their storage business unit, though o

Technically you're right, they do. They don't really serve the US Consumer market (anymore) though. There's no (or comparatively very few) established sales channels with consumer retail vendors by SKHynix themselves in the U

Yes, but the consumer brand has to have a good reputation for that to pan out positively in B2B. Crucial has a decent reputation, but the problem is that there hasn't been any innovation in the consumer DRAM market for 2 decades that

Considering how many people don't realize Crucial is a Micron brand, or that Micron components are in a lot of non-crucial consumer brand products, I'd argue it wasn't that crucial. Especially considering that there's li

What is there to sell? The brand itself has value I guess, but that "Direct Access" goes out the door the second they sell it, so there's no value specifically in that to anyone else. Crucial is primarily a Marketing and Supp

That's not how it works. Crucial winding down doesn't mean that there's less flash fabs in the world, just like there are plenty of DRAM companies that sell to the consumer market that don't have their own flash fabs (Co

Oh I agree, but worrying about that in my opinion is stressing over things beyond my control as I can't verify that data is accurate before or after taking receipt of it, and it's kind of a moot point when buying a second hand con

Disagree. You should never trust SMART data from second hand drives, full stop. No matter if it's wiped or not. If you're US domestic market, then yeah, you can usually avoid Chinese vendors. If you're EU or elsewhere, China
