This is non-news puffed up for engagement, isn't it? Samsung doesn't make IDE hard drives any more either.

If you look at the top sellers, SATA SSDs still occupy a few of those spots, including 3rd place.

There is still huge demand for SATA SSDs.

Fuck em. Last time i bought a samsung ssd it went from 100% to 20% SMART overnight and just outside warranty

They're still making mobos with SATA. Not everyone uses laptops.

Most reasonably priced power edges on eBay don't have NVMe sleds yet. Some of us selfhost, y'know...

I didn't say that.

Some of us selfhost, y'know

I do too. But I'm pretty sure, while selfhosting may be common here on Lemmy, that it's not entirely common amongst wider population?

The issue is that as dumb as it is, SATA ssds are still a big part of the consumer market.

Even though nvme isn't appreciably more expensive to make, it's still used as a "premium" product., and SATA is a product tier to capture budget market whole protecting their more premium market.

This move is a clear symptom of the real issue. Manufacturers shifting as much capacity as possible towards big datacenter buildouts at the expense of starving every other market for these products. Trillions of dollars that will pay whatever it takes competing with a more rational market
