Can I lock a flash price for a period, given 2026 market volatility?
A quotation is valid for 30 days by default, which protects both sides against a spot market that has moved sharply in 2026. If you need a longer fixed price, we can discuss it for a committed volume, because locking a price means we carry the silicon risk for that window. The honest trade-off: a longer lock usually needs a larger or committed quantity, while a standard quote reflects the market on the day. Tell us the volume and the period and we confirm what we can hold, rather than quoting a year-long fixed price we could not honour.
The 30-day default
Our standard quotation is valid for 30 days. That window is long enough to decide and short enough that the silicon cost we quoted is still real.
Longer locks
For a committed volume we can hold a price beyond 30 days, because the commitment lets us cover the risk.
An open-ended lock on a volatile commodity is not something we offer, because it would be a price we could not stand behind.

Frequently asked questions
Why only 30 days?
NAND pricing has been volatile, and a quote is a promise. Thirty days keeps the promise honest; longer needs a commitment from you to be fair to both sides.
Can a forecast help me get a better price?
Yes. A committed or forecast volume lets us plan silicon and hold a price for the covered window. The more certain the volume, the more we can fix.
