Large-capacity SSD into PC hard drive mainstream Master chip manufacturer "feast" open

After years of stagnation, the SSD (Solid State Drive) market finally won the "dominant" role in the PC hard drive market.

On October 24, Master Lu released the Q3 quarter PC hard drive ranking. The list shows that the Western Digital Black 3D NVMe 250 GB SSD won this quarter's performance list, and the Kingston SA400S37 240GB SSD became the most popular hard drive.

At the same time, due to the decline in the price of hard drives, users are no longer satisfied with the small capacity SSD of 250GB. According to fast technology reports, the current price of 512GB has generally come within 700 yuan. In the most popular hard disk TOP10, there are two 512GB large-capacity solid-state hard disks, which also means that large-capacity SSD is gradually becoming a consumer. Mainstream.

In the field of SSD, the importance of the master chip is self-evident, and the status is equivalent to the CPU of the entire computer.

As China breaks through the storage difficulties with the power of the whole country, the main chip manufacturers are also welcoming new opportunities. On the one hand, China will continue to be a major consumer of NAND, and the main control chip is related to information security issues. This is a great opportunity for domestically-controlled manufacturers; on the other hand, domestic NAND flash memory will be mass-produced, and will launch in the next few years. The charge of Samsung and Hynix, although this is a tough battle, it is a "backwater fight" that has to be played. At the same time as domestic flash memory has made progress, as the “gatekeeper” for storing information security, the road to localization of flash memory and SSD master control has become unstoppable.

With the industrial changes of SSD master controllers, the new generation of Taiwanese, mainland and other manufacturers have gradually emerged. Taiwan's main control includes Huirong, Qunlian, Zhiwei, etc., while the mainland departments include Huayingwei, Guokewei, Yixin, Ziguang Derui, Jiangbolong, etc. are all gaining momentum.

At present, there are no fewer than ten main control chip manufacturers in the mainland, but they still need more time to polish in terms of technology, mode, and route. They are also looking forward to the future "winning" when they are competing.
