Consequently, the South Korean tech giant is among those who would be most benefitted by the expected 10 to 15 percent on-quarter price increases of enterprise SSDs from July to September.

The increase in computer processor production by such companies as Intel and Advanced Micro Devices will also contribute to the increased demand for SSD products.
