I assume this means their RAM and SSDs?

For RAM it kinda makes sense; others brands can just buy the ICs. But that’s quite an SSD brand to throw away.

So the consumer market is not worth it?

I wonder why they didn't sell the brand to a third party, I guess they don't want to be tied to providing RAM.

    Yeah, they don’t want to muddy the Micron brand through association.

    So the consumer market is not worth it?

    I dunno about their flash controllers, but other brands can still buy Micron NAND/flash for SSDs and RAM sticks, as they already do.

    They just don’t want to deal with all the expenses/headaches of retail, and all the extra management needed for that. It makes sense. And I can see how this is a convenient time to cut it since they can’t even supply Crucial with DRAM, anyway.
