Crucial has scarped plans to release the previously announced Ballistix TX3 PCIe solid-state drive. The company canceled the product on the basis of "prioritization of company resources and investments." However, Crucial will continue to develop SSD products that target the gamer-enthusiast market that the Ballistix TX3 PCIe was intended for.

"We are, however, continuing to explore potential opportunities for future gaming products and will provide an update as new plans are formalized," the company stated.

Crucial first unveiled the Ballistix TX3 at the 2016 Computex Expo. The drives were based on Silicon Motion's new SMI2260H processor and Micron-made 3D MLC NAND flash memory.
