NAND flash vendors raising quotes on tight supply
NAND flash vendors have increased chip prices citing strong demand for new smartphones particularly the iPhone 7 featuring up to 256GB of storage, according to industry sources. Prices will keep soaring until the fourth quarter of 2016.
In addition, the ongoing rally in NAND-chip prices will negatively affect the penetration rate of SSDs in the notebook segment, and inhibit replenishment demand prior to the back-to-school season, the sources noted.
