Wrong. Intel and Micron are in enterprise storage. The reason for the decrease use in SLC drives is capacity and cost.

Go hyperconverged. Or cloud. Or whatever. You won't save on hardware

I disagree...

There are ways to save money in a HC solution. Dell/HP/Nutanix tend to markup the cost of DRAM/Storage, which consists up to 75% of the cost of a server. The other cost is the software and support.

You might not have the "one throat to choke" but when does DRAM/SSD's typically fail?
