There are plenty of other players on the SSD marker. Crucial, WD, etc. I predict that their prediction will be wrong

If Samsung publicly announces cutting back production and the rest do the same I don't think it's considered collusion.

I think it’s only collusion if they all talk about doing it. Reading that your competitor raised prices and then raising your own isn’t the same as using back channels with your competitor in order to agree to both raise prices

It is okay to respond but not okay to plan.

Yeah but they probably have all the same suppliers and even if one keeps their prices low for now eventually someone there is going to wonder why they are doing the same work as everyone else but getting paid less for it.

This is why you need a healthy market. You need lots of competitions selling a lot of different products. Not 4 companies all seeing the same crap.
