It’s no secret with SSD advance that efficiency and stability have been the driving power behind the wheel. Velocity guidelines and if we will obtain that whereas sustaining information integrity and longevity in our storage system, we are going to maintain pushing ahead. Flash expertise accounts for a lot in our day by day actions that it goes completely unnoticed. Now we have develop into a society of instantaneous every thing and SSDs stay to be the unsung hero all however a number of might really acknowledge.
I can keep in mind sitting down with Michael Wu, Phisons President, on the 2014 Flash Reminiscence Summit the place the speak of the day was nonetheless SATA. Phison had determined to maneuver ahead with their latest PS5006 PCIe controller that will obtain speeds of 1.5GB/s learn and 1.3GB/s write Belief me once I say these speeds have been like lightning again then. I can nonetheless image their show sales space, David amongst the Goliaths. No extra want be mentioned as we introduce Phison’s latest PS5026-E26 Max14um PCIe 5.0 SSD pattern which is already transferring out to their companions on the worlds quickest speeds but of 14GB/s.
A little bit of a warning although… You aren’t going to be throwing this in your laptop computer anytime quickly. The SSD requires (and we’re pretty sure it would include) an lively cooling resolution as you see right here. That is additionally how you will notice the drive accessible to the general public quickly sufficient with the SSD already located in a ribbed aluminum casing with an built-in fan to maintain temps proper the place they need to be…and it really works. We threw every thing at this drive and its temps solely hit a prime temp of 53C as proven in our Crystal Disk Data outcome under. It does precisely what it ought to and stays inside that elusive 11.55w energy limitation of the PCI-SIG M.2 spec.
Our E26 reference pattern is comprised of a black 2280 (22mm extensive x 80 mm lengthy) measurement PCB (printed circuit board) and is a PCIe 5.0 x4 (4-lane) resolution that incorporates Phison’s PS5026-E26 8-channel NVMe SSD controller that’s NVMe 2.0 compliant.. That is paired with a LPDDR4 DRAM chip alongside facet 4 items of Micron’s finest 232-layer B58R TLC NAND flash reminiscence operating at 2,400MT.
This can be a two-sided SSD and incorporates two-pieces of Micron 512GB NAND on both sides which gives the person with 1863GB of space for storing when formatted. The drive additionally has in-built thermal safety, AES 256-bit end-to-end information path safety, and has Phison fifth Gen LDPC ECC and RAID ECC for information reliability.
Listed specs for the Phison E26 Max14um are 14GB/s learn and 12GB/s write with as much as 1500K learn and 2000K write IOPS. Working vary is 0-70C with a storage vary of -40 to 85C and there’s no additional info with respect to MTBF, guarantee or pricing as that is merely a reference design provided by Phison for our testing. This isn’t a retail pattern.
