Igor's Lab measured a budget PCIe 4.0 SSD collapsing from 4 GB/s to about 150 MB/s after its cache fills. LG also began mass production of a 720Hz Full HD OLED gaming panel.

Kioxia and Sandisk show the highest-density QLC NAND yet at Flash Memory Summit, and LG Display cuts an OLED emissive layer to chase cheaper monitor panels.
