YMTC to Launch its Own SSD Brand Soon
YMTC (Yangtze Memory Technologies Corp) could launch its own SSD brand soon, according to a DigiTimes report. The Mainland Chinese NAND flash maker, which is taking giant strides with the development of NAND flash memory, could join Micron, SK Hynix, Kioxia, and Samsung, in being NAND flash vendors with their own finished SSD product lines on the side.
The SSD brand could be announced in Q3-2020, and could implement the company's 64-layer 3D TLC NAND flash memory in some of its first drives, moving on to 128-layer NAND flash chips next, as the company has pole-vaulted 96-layer. With Phison coming out with support for YMTC chips, it's likely that the company could get a break with these drives. YMTC is one of the rising stars of China's domestic high-technology industry, and a beneficiary of state investment as part of the Chinese Government's plan to eliminate dependency on foreign computer hardware as part of its "3-5-2 plan."

Ontopic: Chinese QLC... right. The trust factor is just about -100. Non-Chinese QLC hovers around zero in my mind... staying FAR away. I'll pay the premium for TLC, thx
1. Sucks big time
2. Sucks, but cheap
3. Usable, but reasonable price
4. Quite good, but why so expensive?
5. Reliable, everyone buys it.
For people worrying about spywares and stuff, remember these chips will serve the massive Chinese market not us.
This is why products are designed outside of China, and constructed there: China is broadly incapable of producing innovators, but it's great at producing worker drones.Indeed. Indigenous Chinese high technology products will be terrible trash, but the drones who don't have access to anything better, will never know they are using trash.
The new breed of Chinese companies such as CATL are more or less at the forefront of innovation. Huawei contributed more than any other company towards 5G standards. They are ready to sacrifice everything to "take their rightful place on top of the world", the rest of the world can either race them or get overtaken.
