Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com January 1 news, according to TrendForce Ji Bang Consulting report, 2022 Client SSD carrying capacity in notebook computers has exceeded 500GB 512GB Client SSD in the recent rapid decline in prices has been close to half a year ago 256GB quotation, or even close to the same capacity HDD, so that PC OEM accelerate the use of 512GB capacity, but to upgrade to 1TB or above SSD configuration may be difficult.

TrendForce said that notebook computers are difficult to upgrade to 1TB or above SSD configuration, mainly because Microsoft Windows system authorization fee collection mechanism is positively related to the level of laptop configuration, PC OEM will bear higher overall cost pressure, and has a passive attitude towards upgrading to more than 1TB capacity, which will also limit the growth of stand-alone capacity in the future.

In terms of low capacity, TrendForce believes that the entry-level market of notebook 128GB SSD will gradually decline. Microsoft dominates the price of PC OEM import, and its speed is comparable to that of SATA interface UFS as a configuration option, which may also replace low-capacity Client SSD usage in the long run. However, TrendForce Jibang Consulting believes that due to the recent obvious decline in SSD, the narrowing of the price gap with UFS, and the platform host still can not natively support UFS 3.1 speed, so at present PC OEM believes that UFS in the case of no obvious price advantage, there is no big incentive to import, it is necessary to wait for the price advantage to appear and the platform host to start native support before there is a chance to appear.

CTOnews.com learned that the report also said that compared with smartphone camera configurations, laptops are used for video streaming rather than high-quality video recording, so the growth of storage demand bits is slower. TrendForce Jibang Consulting estimates that the overall Client SSD demand bit growth rate in 2022-2023 will be 4.3% and 11.6% respectively, and the average carrying capacity growth rate will also drop from 18.2% in 2022 to 9.6% in 2023. In the future, the momentum of global NAND Flash demand bit growth will be driven by Enterprise SSD.
