Cheap Chinese SSDs will come true thanks to Phison

YMTC has long been testing SSD manufacturers and controlling From first line; Before this announcement, the Chinese manufacturer was already testing ADATA and Silicon Motion for the same purpose, but now the news of the agreement with Phison is the key point because they only specialize in SSD controllers, and in fact it is one of the most widespread in the industry.

SSDs with Chinese chips, good or bad news?

It seems that this manufacturer is already very advanced in the production of 3D NAND chips, since according to the source they went from 64-layer chips directly to 128-chip chips, skipping the 96-layer phase. Its 128-layer 3D NAND chips use a proprietary technology called Xtacking 2.0 It has allowed them to reach a high density and increase their performance, but unfortunately there is no data from it today to determine anything.

It is likely that, seeing the image of the chip above, the logo sounds quite a bit to you, and there are currently many Chinese SSDs on the market that make use of these chips. In addition, now that the manufacturer has others like Silicon Motion or ADATA on their side, which do not manufacture their own memory chips but instead take them from third parties using their controllers, what may happen is that we start to see that the SSD market start using these chips in bulk.

Answering the question of whether this is good or bad, a priori it should be good but with several conditions. It should be good in the sense that we will have much more volume, and in addition to cheap chips, which will impact the price of SSDs positively (SSDs will be cheaper). The downside is that without being able to determine either the performance or longevity of these chips, we cannot assure their reliability either, and therefore having a market flooded with shoddy SSDs could also be bad news, regardless of price.

YTMC is not a "second-rate" manufacturer

Technically, we should give this chip maker a vote of confidence. Although it is true that it is not well known or recognized worldwide, it really is a very large manufacturer in Asia and has received numerous awards for its technological innovations; Proof of this is that it is already at the height of first-rate manufacturers in terms of lithography and technology.

Of course we will have to wait for the first SSDs equipped with these Chinese chips to arrive on the market, at which time we can determine their performance and reliability. It also remains to be seen at what price they arrive, since manufacturers could take advantage of this situation simply to reduce costs and sell at the same price, thus expanding their profit margins and not passing this cost reduction on to the user.
