There is no notability from the 100+ manufacturers who can ultimately be listed on this page. There is virtually no way to keep it current. Even reducing this list to SSD manufacturers may not be notable enough for an article.

@ Stesmo: removed and reverted two external links in this article that had been in the article for some time in accordance with this discussion. The removal of the links removed the WP:RS for inclusion of these two vendors on this list. There is nothing in WP:EL that precludes their use in this article in this manner and their usage does make the article more readable. The alternative would be to put the links in footnotes as is done in many cases but they too are candidates for EL instead of naked links in footnotes. Under WP:BRD I am returning the article to its original state and we can discuss it here. Tom94022 ( talk) 06:34, 29 July 2020 (UTC)
these external-link guidelines do not apply to citations to reliable sources within the body of the article.
@ Stesmo:The policy seems to support such usage. Please explain why not. Tom94022 ( talk) 06:38, 31 July 2020 (UTC)
This is a list article so Links in lists is the controlling policy as follows:
... a list may be formatted as a table, and appropriate external links can be displayed compactly within the table
... these links may serve as both official links and as inline citations to primary sources
The assertion that usage in this article is "quite clearly against WP:EL" is wrong as well as disputable since this is a list article using tables the plain language of the quotes above show such links to RSes are permitted. Since the language is clear there can be no dispute and the tag is inappropriate and can be removed. If @ Stesmo: has a different interpretation of this plain language then he should post it here so we can all understand his viewpoint. Tom94022 ( talk) 21:53, 1 August 2020 (UTC)
For example OCZ Storage Selection:
Name | Based in | Manufactures hard disk drives |
Manufactures Flash memory |
Manufactures Flash-based SSDs |
Manufactures RAM-based SSDs |
Manufactures Flash memory controller |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
OCZ Storage Solutions [1] | United States | No | Yes through its then parent Toshiba's joint venture with SanDisk, Flash Forward, Ltd., but absorbed into said parent | Yes, but absorbed into Toshiba | No | Yes, but absorbed into Toshiba |
It is clear that today OCZ is only a brand of Toshiba so shouldn't the annotation to the Terminated status be: "Formerly ..." as below?
Name | Based in | Manufactures hard disk drives |
Manufactures Flash memory |
Manufactures Flash-based SSDs |
Manufactures RAM-based SSDs |
Manufactures Flash memory controller |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
OCZ Storage Solutions [1] | United States | No | Formerly through its then parent Toshiba's joint venture with SanDisk, Flash Forward, Ltd., but absorbed into said parent | Formerly, absorbed into Toshiba | No | Formerly, absorbed into Toshiba |
Unless someone objects I'm going to make such a change globally Tom94022 ( talk) 17:47, 22 June 2019 (UTC)

Perhaps the page should see the addition of a brands list, as well. Axeyop ( talk) 23:56, 8 March 2022 (UTC)
I'm on the fence about whether to add HP Inc. (not to be confused with Hewlett Packard Enterprise). It appears they manufactured HP-branded drives at one point ( [1], [2]), but I don't see any evidence on their website that they do now. Did they get out the SSD business? Do their desktops and laptops still ship with HP-branded drives? – void xor 00:52, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

The list currently shows the country in which the company is based. Manufacture locations are often multiple, and overseas from the company. For example, Western Digital is a company based out of the United States, however, their products are manufactured overseas in countries such as Malaysia, Taiwan, and China. Personally, the reason I was brought to this page was to see where the manufacture locations are as well. Axeyop ( talk) 00:08, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
