It's jolly good more and more companies release M.2 NVMe SSDs as competition gets healthier, but unfortunately it won't help too much if NAND manufacturing numbers are falling so short it prevents the supply from meeting the demand. In addition to that, who can say what's going to happen to the general situation with the American nuclear disaster forcing Toshiba to sell the semiconductor business.
