The Phison E26 will be the new controller that the Taiwanese manufacturer specializing in the manufacture of NAND Flash memory has launched on the new generation SSD market under the PCIe 5.0 interface. The Phison E26 controller will be the first for SSD through the fifth generation PCIe interface, supporting the latest NVMe protocols and with a target audience, the gamer. What news does he bring?
Currently, the fourth generation PCIe standard offers transfer speeds of up to 16 Gbps, but PCIe 5.0 lanes can give us transfer rates of up to 32 Gbps. New PS5026-E26 which will also be compatible with NVMe 2.0
According to the company itself, with the new Phison E26 controller it expects to deliver such speeds, a figure that should be achievable according to the latest data correctly seen by Intel, where we were able to see Samsung hitting numbers above 13. GB per second under the PCIe interface. GEN 5.
the e26 controller that ends which will be seen for the first time in Las Vegas during the CES 2022, will be included for the first time in the models that will debut at this event, with the exception of Samsung, which will have its own as usual.
Regarding its price, failing to know the manufacturers who adopt these new controllers (they should be practically all) and present their devices, it is a total unknown for the moment, but it is expected that using this New, gamer-focused GEN 5 interface isn’t exactly one of the more affordable SSDs. So, if you want to get one of these SSDs, prepare your wallet to be among the first to see and notice its transfer rate.
In the company’s own words, the new controller PS5026-E26 in addition to offering an excellent transfer rate promises “high energy efficiency” according to recent statements at CES 2022 in Las Vegas. In addition to this, the company commented on the following:
The E26 SSD solution is the best combination of performance and low power in its class with the unique architecture of Phison. E26 is a customizable SSD platform designed for PCIe Gen5 that will cover both enterprise and consumer markets. The company’s first Gen5 controller will ship in multiple form factors and features with the ability to scale beyond 10 Gb / s while still meeting power requirements for computing all day. Phison will present the E26 for the first time at CES 2022.
Along with the Phison E26 focused on gaming and consumer equipment, the manufacturer announced two other controller models: the E21T (the successor to the E19T) and the E13T BGA, being the first for high performance performance under the fourth generation of ‘PCIe interface with -Less DRAM design (without Phison’s DRAM), as well as E13T version is also focused on mobile gaming devices, such as Black shark 4 who announced the adoption of this for their devices.
