Samsung: A look at the giant of the electronics and storage industry
The South Korean electronics company Samsung is one of the largest in its industry and is probably not only known to most people because of the Samsung Galaxy smartphone. As a constant competitor to Apple, the company not only produces cell phones and tablets, but also televisions, refrigerators and washing machines. Samsung is also the market leader in storage products such as RAM modules and SSDs.
It's hard to believe that the company, whose Korean name translates as "three stars", started out as a food exporter. After detours into the textile sector and as a transport provider, the company entered the electronics sector with the founding of "Samsungs Electronics" in 1969.
Today, Samsung is not only one of the big players in the PC and notebook segment, but also produces memory modules and SSDs for the high-end sector. Server manufacturers such as HPE, DELL, IBM/Lenovo or Fujitsu use RAM modules from Samsung - so it is not unusual for the server RAM modules to have Samsung listed as the memory manufacturer in addition to the server brand.
But: The company is not only in constant competition with Apple - in the semiconductor industry, the global battle for market share is fierce. Well-known names such as Intel, SK Hynix, Micron, Qualcomm, Broadcom, AMD, Nvidia, Western Digital and Texas Instruments are trying to gain the upper hand in the industry with new innovations.
The same applies to hard drives and especially SSDs: ever faster, ever larger, ever more powerful. SSDs/NVMe SSDs, portable SSDs, memory cards and USB flash drives in all possible variants and with a wide range of capacities are therefore available today.
It's difficult to keep track of everything here. The advantage of SSDs - even in the server area - over rotating hard drives is now obvious, but can you say which type is the "best" for the server? As with buying a server, the decisive factor here is what the SSD is needed for. Samsung offers both SSD hard drives for read-intensive and write-intensive workloads. Flash storage for mixed-use workloads - i.e. mixed applications - is also included in its product portfolio.
