- Intel SSD division became Solidigm when sold to SK Hynix
- SK Hynix launched its own consumer SSD products
- Expect more brands to exit the cutthroat B2C SSD market in 2025
Solidigm, a subsidiary of SK Hynix, has officially announced the discontinuation of its consumer SSDs, the P44 Pro and P41 Plus models.
The company, which began operations in 2021 after SK Hynix acquired Intel’s NAND and SSD businesses for $9 billion, has removed the “SSD Client” section from its website.
The “Customer product category” hypertext link on the site redirects to a “Discontinued products” page. This confirms (via ITHome and Guru3D) that Solidigm will no longer produce its latest two consumer SSD models and older Intel-era drives like the 660p and 670p.
Solidigm focuses on data center solutions
According to Solidigm, no replacement products are planned in the consumer SSD lineup, marking Solidigm’s exit from the consumer market.
Since the acquisition, Solidigm has increased its focus on the enterprise and data center markets. The company is now prioritizing high-capacity SSDs, especially for artificial intelligence applications.
The consumer SSD market has been difficult, with oversupply leading to lower prices and shrinking profit margins.
