Memory and storage giant Micron is reportedly discontinuing its Crucial line of consumer-grade Solid State Drives (SSDs) and Random Access Memory (RAM), signaling a strategic shift toward Artificial Intelligence (AI) and enterprise-level solutions. The move, initially discussed within online communities, points to a growing trend of technology companies prioritizing AI-related development and infrastructure. While no official statement has been released by Micron, the online discussion ([Reddit Post: https://old.reddit.com/r/artificial/comments/1pdd29l/micron_ends_crucial_consumer_ssd_and_ram_line/]) suggests the company is streamlining its portfolio to better compete in the rapidly expanding AI market.
