Armored Man 6.5EB flash memory is contaminated SSD hard drive to increase the price? The swarm response came

Chip factories such as flash memory in South Korea, Japan and the United States often have accidents, and now the flash memory factory of The Armored Man has been in trouble again, exposing material pollution accidents, resulting in the damage of 6.5 EB of flash memory.

Kiyoshi, which works with Western Digital to produce NAND flash memory, mainly in Japan, said it was working to get the yokohama and kita-listed plants back to normal operations as soon as possible, but the statement did not give a detailed date for when production would resume.

As for the specific loss, there are reports that it will cause 6.5 EXB capacity of flash memory to be affected, if calculated according to the 500GB SSD, then the loss is almost 13 million SSD hard disks, 1TB capacity is also 6.5 million, the impact is not small.

This is not the first time that such a disaster has occurred in the flash memory factories of Western Digital and Jiaoxia, which lost 6 exabytes of flash memory due to a power outage for more than a month in 2019, with a loss value of more than $300 million.

With such a large capacity of flash memory affected, should the price of SSD hard drives rise? It is still too early to judge, depending on the specific situation of each manufacturer.

Qunlian Company is an important customer of Jiaoxia Flash Memory, in response to the factory accident of Jiaoxia, Qunlian Company said that the company and Jiaoxia have signed an LTA (long-term supply contract), in the priority supply guarantee contract, the supply has no impact.

Qunlian pointed out that the company's NAND supply sources are diversified, and has a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with each NAND original plant, and Qunlian will also pay close attention to the operation status and supply stability of NAND original factories to ensure that it meets the needs of global customers.
