Phison was first to market with a PCI-Express gen 4.zero client-segment NVMe SSD controller, the E16 collection, which let it bag design wins with a number of DIY gaming PC SSD producers. Not to be left behind by PCIe gen 4.zero controllers by its opponents, resembling SMI, Marvell, Samsung, and many others., providing increased efficiency than the E16, the corporate is designing a more moderen era controller for high-performance client-segment SSDs, below the E18 household. TweakTown has entry to early efficiency figures of a drive in manufacturing with this controller. The CrystalDiskMark screenshot reveals the drive’s sequential switch charges to be 7381.21 MB/s reads, and 7025.86 MB/s sequential writes, making the E18 among the many quickest PCIe gen 4.zero x4 NVMe SSD controllers identified.
