Another major computer hardware brand gone. SK Hynix has largely pulled out of the consumer retail SSD business in the US this year, and it looks like Crucial is following them for both consumer RAM and SSDs.
This is not good. Crucial was one of the best brands for laptop RAM and SSD upgrades. Crucial RAM had some of the broadest compatibility with many different systems with its conservative timing profiles. The Crucial T500 SSD was one of the best for laptops due to having one of the best performance-per-watt ratings in its class, making it an ideal choice for laptops where thermal performance and battery life matter.
For RAM, it looks like Kingston will be the next best option as far as broad compatibility. SSDs might be tougher, with only two major brands left (Samsung and SanDisk/WD). This might lead to consumers buying second-tier SSD brands such as Kingston, MSI, AData, or Sabrent.
