The Sony camera A7M3, A7R3 and A9 gets incompatibility issue with SanDisk SD Card after firmware updates. The problem caused users lose data and have no access to use the SD card, furthermore, Sony took over 2 months to raise the solution, it is really negative attitude for such big company. With such slow reaction and unstable solution, the incompatibility issue is still under testing by users.
A New Year's guess is whether there will be only 3 to 5 SSD manufacturers around the world, like today's HDD manufacturers. Many people think SSD granular manufacturers have the best chance in the future.
In the market of consumer electronics, the application of USB Type-C connector is becoming more and more popular. To meet this growing demand, electronic component manufacturer CUI offers a range of high-quality USB Type-C plugs and sockets, including SMT and intermediate installation types. These connectors are designed to achieve the communication rate defined in the second generation specificat...
UNIS has launched enterprise-class SSD P8260, most components inside are made by UNIS. Although UNIS was only able to mass-produce 64Gb NAND Flash chip, the technology has been improved and able to manufacture 128Gb chip. With the continuous development on the 3D flash, UNIS has the capability of producing more advanced SSD.
The continuous dropping of NAND Flash chip drives the high demands of SSD in market. The PCle SSD will gradually take over the 50% share of Storage market due to the lower cost, as the 512GB price is almost same as 256GB quoted in 2018. Now most brand suppliers such as Kingston, Micron, Apacer, Adata and Transcend have listed PCle SSD to be their main supply in 2019.
With the development of science and technology and the continuous rise of the Internet population, the trend of digitalization in the world has become inevitable.

But the amount of data and the digitization process vary greatly from country to country...
The traditional market for smart phones got depression in past years. Taiwan semiconductor suppliers must focus on new areas to win new opportunity. These new areas are artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of things (IoT), 5G wireless communications, industrial 4.0 / intelligent machinery, car networking / self-driving, VR/AR, high-performance computing (HPC), software and network services
The demands in memory storage get slowdown at the end of 2018 and the beginning of 2019, it will lead to new demands of high-margin products such as PCIe/NVMe SSD. The market share of Memory industry will turns to the enterprise market.
The low demands on memory storage lead to price plummet from Q4 in 2018 to Q1 in 2019. This cause the main chip supplier Samsung suffer profits decline of 60% in Q1 of 2019, no matter comparing to month-to-month or year to year, Samsung has far way behind the profit target.
The NAND Flash and Memory chip industry suffers serious situation in China, as the domestic supply strongly replies on the importing chips. UNIS hope turn the tables, and invest 100 billion Yuan to build the fourth memory chip base in Guangzhou; they plan to create one world-class semiconductor base there.
